Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I found this recipe in my paternal grandmother’s cookbook… you know, the cookbook with the avocado green cover and the yellowed crumbling pages.

The recipe “claims” 4 dozen but actually due to the size of My cookies, I didn’t quite reach 4 dozen. 🙂

1 cup flour LESS 2 TABLESPOONS

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon soda

6 tablespoons brown sugar

1 package chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon vanilla
