Ingredients

½ cup salted butter melted
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup quick cooking oats Quaker
3 tbsp all-purpose flour sifted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled butter and brown sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add the beaten egg and vanilla, and stir. Add the oats and flour, mix until just combined.
Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving ample space for spreading. Approximately 8 cookies fit on one baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden browned. The centers may appear soft but will firm up upon cooling.
While the first batch of cookies are baking, prepare the second batch by following steps 3 and 4. Continue until all the dough has been used.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, using a metal spatula or turner, transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
