I am 80 and I remember the oatmeal cookies my mom and I made tasted better

Hi Shirley,
A difficult request. There are so many oatmeal cookies recipes. "Chewy" is a very slim clue to guide me to the
correct recipe.
However, I immediately found several recipes called "Old Fashioned Chewy Oatmeal Cookies." or something similar.
There is no way for me to know if they taste like the ones you remember or to predict precisely how chewy they
will be. You'll have to make them to find that out. See these links and the recipes below.

Old Fashioned Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
1 c. shortening
2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. boiling water
2 c. flour
2 c. oatmeal
Blend shortening, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Dissolve soda
in boiling water and mix with sugar mixture. Add flour and oatmeal a
little at a time until blended. Can add nuts, raisins, or chocolate
chips if desired. Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 9-12 minutes for chewy cookies; leave center
not quite done for crunchier cookies. Cook until brown in middle.
Makes 3 dozen.
