October 13, 2006, Newsletter Issue #146: Easy Fancy Cookies

Tip of the Week

These cookies taste like so much more than the sum of the ingredients. Something about the oats and powdered sugar combination make them mouth-wateringly tender and crispy. Make a few batches and store them in your fridge to whip out for last-minute guests.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/4 cups flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
Chocolate star candies

Cream butter and sugar and add vanilla. Stir in flour and oats. Shape dough into 2 rolls, each 1-1/2" in diameter. Wrap well in waxed paper, twisting the ends to seal. Chill well. When ready to bake, cut dough into 1/4" slices and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Top each with a chocolate star. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to racks to cool.
