2 1/2 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. flour
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt (you may use less)
1 c. brown sugar

Place butter in a medium size skillet and when melted stir in oatmeal. Stir constantly to keep oatmeal from burning. When oats are a golden brown, cut off heat and place off burner.

In a small bowl combine brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together and add the dry mixture to the other mixture. Place spoonfuls of dough on a greased cookie sheet. You may need to shape the dough with your hands as the dough may appear not to stay together. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes.

These cookies may take some practice to obtain the quality you desire, but with a little practice, it will be worth the effort.
