Lumberjacks

Sweet and crunchy
An easy cookie for kids to make

This is the first cookie my mother taught me to make. No need for a bowl or spoon--she just put the ingredients in the pan, mixed and patted with her hands, and voila--lumberjacks were ready for the oven!

• 3 CUPS ROLLED OATS
• 1 CUBE OF BUTTER OR MARGARINE (MELTED)
• 1 CUP BROWN SUGAR (PACKED)
• 1/2 TSP VANILLA

__________________________________________________

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large bowl, mix together oats and brown sugar (use your hands to mix).
Melt butter over low heat and pour over oats mixture. Add vanilla and mix together quickly and lightly (if you use your hands to mix, be sure not to burn yourself on the hot butter).

Pack into 8x8 pan immediately and bake for 30 minutes. Cut into squares while still warm; remove from pan when cool (if you wait until cookies are cool to cut, they will be too hard).
