Oatmeal Cookies

My mom has a recipe book from...let us say the 1970's...with many pages, more than half falling out.  The recipes are typed on white paper, you must know the one.  One day - must have been years ago - I was going through this book and found a recipe for oatmeal cookies.  Hope you enjoy!
