Oatmeal Maple Cookies - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

Preheat your oven to about 375 degrees, Farenheit.
First, mix the flour and oatmeal in a medium-sized bowl.
Then, mix the butter and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
You should do this by hand so that the butter softens.
After they have formed a nice, sweet, delectable slime, beat the egg in a measuring cup and add to the smaller bowl.
Mix these well.
After you have done this, add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ones.
Again, mix these well.
If it is too sticky (and it will be rather sticky no matter what-- this is a good thing), add a little more oatmeal.
But not flour.
We're done with the flour so using any more would ruin the integrity of the recipe.
I promise.
After it is about the right consistency, add a couple of drops of your maple extract.
When this is complete, use a couple of forks to form a ball in the bowl.
Then, on a lightly greased cookie sheet, use the forks to form little balls about an inch in diameter.
It might take a few cookie sheets, but I usually get about eighteen or twenty cookies.
You should leave each batch in for about 7-9 minutes, then let them cool on a counter or something of the like.
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.
After the cookies have cooled a few minutes, use a spatula to gently pry them from the pan.
Eat while warm, they are nice and buttery.
