List of Ingredients



• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  
• 1 cup powdered sugar
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1-1/4 cups old-fashioned oats, uncooked
  
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 24 assorted bite-sized candies
  
• Colored sugar (or candy)
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F).
   
   
2. Beat the butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, oats, cornstarch and salt; mix well. Shape rounded tablespoons of dough into 1-1/2-inch balls. Press the candy piece into the center of each ball; shape the dough around the candy so it is completely hidden. Lightly pinch one side of the dough to form an egg shape. Roll the cookies in the desired decorations until evenly coated.
   
   
3. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly browned on the bottom. Remove to a wire rack; cool completely. Store tightly covered.
   
   Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.
