Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter softened (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Preparation
1
In a bowl cream the butter with the brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, then beat in the flour, the milk, and the vanilla.
2
Stir in the oats. drop rounded teaspoons of the dough about 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden.
3
Let the cookies stand on the sheets for 1 minute, or until they are just firm enough to be moved with a metal spatula. If desired, turn the cookies upside down on the sheets and, working quickly, roll them into cylinders on the sheets. If the cookies become too hard to roll, return them to the oven for a few seconds and let them soften. Transfer the cookies to a rack and let them cool completely.
