This is the original name of these cookies. I found this recipe online when you paid a fortune with aol! This was from a prodigy site of recipes. I love oatmeal cookies and I keep going back to this recipe. It is from Martin Luther King Hospital, in LA. Read more . These are big cookies. I often add craisins to them as well. Little tang it gives it. I am sure you can add whatever you wish!
