THE BEST OATMEAL COOKIES

This recipe came off the side of the oatmeal container-with a few changes.
I love cookies when I was a kid there was a bakery in Harbor Beach MI called Reuters. If you ever were there, your mouth is probably watering at just the name. The donuts were incredible and all of our favorites. But going down the sidewalk what tapped you on the shoulder and lured you inside was the smell of cookies. Especially the oatmeal cookies-these were always my Dad's favorite he always loved old fashioned cookies-
In these cookies as in most butter makes all the difference.

1 1/2 Cups Butter
2 Cups Brown Sugar
1/2 Cups White Sugar

Add 3 eggs and 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
