This recipe is written in fountain pen in a handwriting I didn't recognize. But my mom helped me identify it. The handwriting belongs to Grammy's stepmother, Erma Munce! My mom said:
"I remember her hand so well because I have more of her cookie recipes and she'd always write a note in birthday cards, etc. She was a wonderful person."Grandma Munce was the only great grandmother I knew on my mom's side of the family. Grandma Munce always had a wonderful cookie jar full of homemade cookies ready for us when we would visit her. I remember her chewy oatmeal cookies so well. She passed away when I was 10 years old. I was fortunate to be the recipient of several of her "less valuable" tchotchkes and enjoy them to this day. I'm so happy that I now know this recipe is from her!
