LUNCHBOX OATMEAL COOKIES

 This is another great recipe from my Land O' Lakes Butter recipe archives.

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

1 Land O Lakes® Egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cups uncooked old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces

Heat oven to 375°F.

Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed. Stir in chocolate pieces.

Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let stand 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack

Linda's Note: Do not overbake.
