A version of this recipe was made popular by doctor and author, Henry Bieler.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This is my mom’s cookie recipe. I’m not biased; these are yummy! When I was little, she would have these made and in the cookie jar before my brother got home from school. As soon as he was in the house, she’d put a couple cookies on a napkin, and I’d sit my little legs…
