DELICATE OATMEAL THIN COOKIES

These are not your typical oatmeal cookie. They are thin and crisp, with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Makes 3 dozen cookies

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
1 cup margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
3 cups rolled oats – regular – not quick cooking type

PREPARATION
Cream butter and margarine well and then add the sugar. Mix in the dry ingredients. Refrigerate dough for about 1 hour, until it is stiff.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat. Once the dough is chilled, drop cookie batter in small spoonfuls onto the baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart (the cookies spread out).

Bake in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Carefully remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack. While still warm, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar.

Carol’s Tip- Use the butter and margarine combination in this recipe. If you use only butter or margarine in this recipe, it will affect the texture and baking of the cookie.
