Most oatmeal cookie recipes call for baking powder, but its left out of this recipe so that you get a more sweet and chewy cookie rather that a thick and cakey one. This is my mom's own recipe that is a personal favorite of mine and my brother's. You could add the chocolate chips or raisins that you would normally put in oatmeal cookies, but these cookies are so awesome plain, they don't need any add-ins!!!
