My grandmother used to make a completely different type of oatmeal cookie. She
rolled out the dough and cut them out so they were thin, round cookies. They
were pretty good on their own, but even better as a sandwich cookie with a date
filling. My mother makes them occasionally and I wouldn't mind giving them a
try except that they are a billion calories in them.


Both of my grandmothers and my mother made scones on a regular basis. They
usually put raisins or currants in them.
