BUTTERSCOTCH 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

Mix oats and brown sugar, mix in butter and vanilla.
Divide mixture evenly in 2 ungreased 8-inch square pans, spread evenly. Bake at for about 10 minutes or until it looks golden-brown. Squares will be soft, but will harden when cool.
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.
