about 36 cookies Source yield

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup butter (margarine)
  • ⅓ cup lightly packed brown sugar

  • 1 cup quick rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Make it step by step

  2. Set aside ¼ cup flour for rolling.
  3. Mix together the remaining dry ingredients, then stir them into the creamed mixture.
  4. Add the remaining flour gradually to the dough until it is stiff enough to roll.
  5. Divide the dough into 3 lumps about the same size.
