  • Grandma Jacque’s Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

    My children always remembered Jacque Nickerson, Grandma and differentiated her from everyone else in their lives because of these cookies.  These cookies have immortalized Jacque.  They are flat, crispy and nutty. Perfect flavor and wonderful with a cup of coffee or tea.

    As Jacque needed a bit of help as she aged, she would still bake cookies and hide them in ziplock bags in her closet so the help would not touch them, they were for her grandchildren.
