Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups Quaker Quik Oats
  • 1 egg yolk

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl on HIGH for approximately 1-1/2 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature. Mix in the white sugar.

  2. Add the baking soda, flour and oatmeal, stirring well.

  3. Beat the egg yolk with a fork unjtil it’s thoroughly mixed. Add to the bowl and stir until it’s incorporated.

  4. Grease or spray with PAM a standard size cookie sheet. Make small balls of dough and place them on the cookie sheet, 12 to a sheet. Press them down with a fork in a criss-cross pattern the way you’d do for peanut butter cookies.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until they’re just starting to brown around the edges. Let the cookies cool for a minute or two on the sheets and then transfer them to a wire rack to complete cooking.
