Ingredients

4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup rolled oats

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees; line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth; mix in rolled oats.

  2. Drop firmly packed teaspoons of dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets. Bake until golden, rotating sheets halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheet 1 minute; with a very thin metal spatula, transfer to paper towels to cool completely.
