List of Ingredients




â—¦1 1/2 cups flour
â—¦1/2 tsp. salt
â—¦1 tsp. baking powder
â—¦1 tsp. baking soda
â—¦2 cups packed light brown sugar
â—¦1 cup butter (I used all butter, but you can use half butter, half shortening or all shortening)
â—¦2 eggs-lightly beaten
â—¦1 tsp. vanilla
â—¦3 cups old-fashioned oats

Recipe



Cream the brown sugar and butter. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Stir in the dry ingredients and oats. Mix well. Chill dough.

Once the dough is chilled, roll it into walnut sized balls. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet (I used Silpats). Butter the bottom of a glass and dip the buttered glass bottom in powdered sugar, then slightly flatten cookie balls on cookie sheet. You can put a pecan half in the center of each cookie before baking if you want.

Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F. I baked mine for 10, as I like them a bit crunchy. (TAMMY'S NOTE: I prefer chewy)

Let them cool a bit before moving them to a cooling rack.
