1/2 lb. softened butter (two sticks)
3 c. oatmeal
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fold in oatmeal one cup at a time. Drop mixture by level teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet (4 across and 5 down). Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are thin and golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing from sheet. Place cookie sheets side by side, do not stack in oven.
