Each time we traveled to Yamagata for interviews with President Smith, Sister Smith brought all of the missionaries delicious oatmeal cookies. She took them with her on her travels and gave two to each missionary. That's 200 cookies! The elders really looked forward to Sister Smith's Oatmeal Cookies. They are just the perfect oatmeal cookie. I finally asked her for the recipe. I am so glad to get it, and thought you might like it, too. This is the perfect time of year for oatmeal cookies.
