Awrey's was a local bakery in Detroit. These cookies were my favorites. Printed 12/12/1963 in section # 2 cookbook (out of print) Bob Allison’s Ask Your Neighbor Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar |
3/4 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal (dry) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Mix filling ingredients in saucepan. Cook til smooth. (Raspberry or strawberry jam may also be used as filling.)
