Another recipe from an old 1960's cookbook. I've been making these a couple times a year for 40 years. They are crispy and butter flavoured and so good. Use quick cooking oats. I use the dough hook to mix when it gets too hard for the K beater. Instead of rolling out I find it easier to pat into a 9 x 13 cookie sheet with 1/2 in sides. I use parchment paper. Score into about 1 1/2 pieces and bake. When baked cut along score lines and you have nice square cut cookies.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups quick oats (cooks in 1 minute)
Directions:
1. Sift flour with baking powder and salt.
2. Cream butter and gradually add sugars, vanilla and oats.
3. Add sifted mixture to make a stiff dough.
4. Turn onto floured board and knead dough lightly to blend thoroughly.
5. Pat or roll into 9 X 12 rectangle and cut into 1 1/2 squares.
6. Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden.
