BUTTERSCOTCH OAT SQUARES
OAT-SQUARES - Easy butterscotch oatmeal pan cookies
The easiest cookies (actually cookie-like objects) to make.
My mother makes these, I don't know where the recipe is
from.
INGREDIENTS (makes 30-40)
2 cups quick or instant oats
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
PROCEDURE
(1) Mix oats and brown sugar, mix in butter and
vanilla.
(2) Divide mixture evenly in 2 ungreased 8-inch square
pans, spread evenly. Bake at 375 deg. F for about
10 minutes or until it looks golden-brown.
Squares will be soft, but will harden when cool.
(3) Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then mark in squares
with a sharp knife. Loosen edges and allow to
cool before removing from pans.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 5 minutes preparation, 15 minutes
cooking and cooling. Precision: approximate measurement OK.
