1 c. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 1/4 c. rolled oats
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. molasses
3 tbsp. flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla

Add sugar to butter, pour over oats. Let stand at room temperature overnight, so oats absorb butter. Mix remaining ingredients into oats. Drop level teaspoonsful of dough 2 inches apart on heavily greased sheets. Bake about 12 cookies per sheet. Bake 5-7 minutes in 375 degree oven or until brown around edges. Allow to remain on sheet a few minutes until firm, then immediately remove with spatula to cooling rack. Makes 6 dozen cookies.
