3tbspall purpose flour

1egg,lightly beaten

1tspvanilla extract

Preparation

Place the rolled oats and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over the oats and stir to combine.

Let mixture stand at room temperature overnight so the oats absorb the butter.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet very well, or line it with greased parchment paper.

Mix the salt, molasses, flour, egg, and vanilla into oat mixture.

Drop level teaspoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake only 12 cookies per pan.

Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until edges are brown. Allow to remain on sheet a few minutes, until firm, then immediately remove with spatula to cooling rack.

Serve and enjoy.
