Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar (or Splenda!)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

Preheat the oven to 376^ F. Cream together the butter, Splenda/sugar and brown sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix in oats. Spray cookie sheets with Pam. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork dipped in sugar (the sugar is not necessary for the success of these cookies, not do you really need to flatten them. In fact, if you want softer cookies, do NOT flatten them). Bake 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Good cookies!
