Oatmeal Old Hats

Oatmeal Cookies. So i decided to start with something easy. I got this recipe from "Make-A-Sweet cookbook" by Barbara Zeitz & Stan Tusan. These have just 4 ingredients, although I added 1/3 cup of sultanas to mine, I think about 1/4 cup of small chocolate chips would have also made a nice addition. I'm on a diet so I'm not really aloud to eat stuff like this, but had 1&1/2 for scientific purposes and they are V'nice. My Daughter loves them, so I've had to hide them in an old ANZAC tin on the top shelf of the pantry. This recipe makes about 30. And yes they really do look like old straw hats.

I
3&1/4 cups Quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a large bowel mix together all Ingredients with your hands, until dough holds together in one lump.
2. With your fingers, take enough dough to form a ball 1inch thick, and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper or grease proof paper (don't use flour as it sicks to the cookies at tastes horrible, butter or oil will stop them hardening so paper only!)
3. Flatten with a fork, or your fingers.
4. Bake 15 to 20 mins at 350'F or 180'C. (Cookies will be lightly browned.)
5. Leave to cool before removing from paper.
