  • Prep 1 hr 10 min
  • Total 9 hr 10 min
  • Servings 72

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups oats
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon molasses, if desired
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten

Steps

  • 1
    Place oats in large bowl. Stir together melted butter and brown sugar. Pour sugar mixture over oats. Let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours or overnight so oats absorb butter.
  • 2
    Heat oven to 375°F. Generously grease cookie sheets with shortening.
  • 3
    Add remaining ingredients into oats; mix well. Drop level teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets, 12 per sheet.
  • 4
    Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until brown around edges. Cool 2 to 3 minutes on cookie sheets or until firm; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

  • Do not make these cookies in hot, humid weather, as the cookies absorb moisture from the air and become limp.
