I'm getting into the Christmas spirit by baking some of my Grandma Scott's oatmeal cookies. They are like a granola bar they have so much yummy oatmeal in them. It makes me feel a little less guilty when I indulge in them…which I do…often. Right now in fact ; )

The super easy peezy recipe:

2/3 c butter softened

1/2 c white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup flour

2 1/2 cup oatmeal ( I use large flake)

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

chocolate chips (optional)

I like to add 3 chocolate chips on top of each cookie just before I bake them. When I do this I usually cut back 1/4 cup or so on the sugar.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix. Sift flour, baking soda, salt into wet and mix. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten with fork dipped in flour. Back at 325F for 15 minutes or until slightly browned.
