What's Cooking - Fueled by Oats

I am a lousy cookie baker. Cookies end up either burned or to soft, crumbly and ugly looking. I blame it on the uneven heat in my oven...

My kids and my husband, of course, love cookies, no matter what shape. And I try coming up with fool proof recipes and this one is pretty close. I have made it several times and even experimented with different ingredients...yummy!

Ingredients:

• 250g margarine or butter
• 500g regular oat flakes
• 200g sugar (I used 100 with no ill effects)
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 50g flower
• vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract)

Melt the butter, add oats, let cool. In another bowl beat eggs, sugar, baking powder, flour and vanilla sugar. Add the oat mixture. Mix well. Place tbsp sized dollops of dough onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 min at 180C.
