Readers comments:  Doris, 11/6/2008 12:59:25 PM EST My mother always made the best oatmeal cookies. When I made them about 25 years ago, I didn't think they were as good as hers and didn't bake them again. My brother is now very sick with cancer and he asked for oatmeal cookies. I've made about 5 batches in the last 6 weeks (for him and me). My mouth waters just thinking about these cookies. This is the BEST recipe. I finally feel my cookies are as good as Mom's. 9/25/2006 9:14:53 PM EST husband thought these were the best cookies and these are his faves
