Personal Notes:
Recipe borrowed from our neighbor Steve Bayes. He would give us these at Christmas. They remind me of Grandpa Leo's oatmeal raisin cookies he would make. Grandpa never measured so you never knew how his cookies would turn out. I always admired that a man of Grandpa's generation cooked and baked!
