Cher and I want to wish a big Happy Mother’s Day to all those fabulous moms out there! Last weekend on our national radio show, At Home with Cheryll & Sam, we chatted with a third generation Gillespie, my grandmother, Cathie! We shared one of our favourite family recipes, the perfect oatmeal cookie! As promised, here it is….

 

 

 

Sam & Cher’s Perfect Oatmeal Cookie

1 cup butter

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups flour

2 cups rolled oats

2 eggs

1 cup coconut

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

Cream and beat well the butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Roll the dough into balls and press down with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, serve warm and gooey, and enjoy!
