As many churches will do, our ladies compiled a cook book that we could sell toward a missionary project. Several of the recipes became favorites in our family.

Mother’s OAT MEAL MACROONS with chocolate chips, raisins and nuts was always a treat we looked forward to. I think this cookie recipe was my first attempt at baking cookies for our school lunches.

Mother on occasion would bake a wonderful Oatmeal Cake, probably because it was another way to get oats into our systems. It is easy to make and it will be enjoyed by your family as well as mine.
