Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup flour
• 3/4 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3-2/3 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 3 drops maple extract

Recipe

• 1 preheat your oven to about 375 degrees, farenheit.
• 2 first, mix the flour and oatmeal in a medium-sized bowl.
• 3 then, mix the butter and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
• 4 you should do this by hand so that the butter softens.
• 5 after they have formed a nice, sweet, delectable slime, beat the egg in a measuring cup and add to the smaller bowl.
• 6 mix these well.
• 7 after you have done this, add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ones.
• 8 again, mix these well.
• 9 if it is too sticky (and it will be rather sticky no matter what-- this is a good thing), add a little more oatmeal.
• 10 but not flour.
• 11 we're done with the flour so using any more would ruin the integrity of the recipe.
• 12 i promise.
• 13 after it is about the right consistency, add a couple of drops of your maple extract.
• 14 when this is complete, use a couple of forks to form a ball in the bowl.
• 15 then, on a lightly greased cookie sheet, use the forks to form little balls about an inch in diameter.
• 16 it might take a few cookie sheets, but i usually get about eighteen or twenty cookies.
• 17 you should leave each batch in for about 7-9 minutes, then let them cool on a counter or something of the like.
• 18 they will still look like they aren't done yet, but this is only because of the large amount of butter glistening in the dough.
• 19 after the cookies have cooled a few minutes, use a spatula to gently pry them from the pan.
• 20 eat while warm, they are nice and buttery.
