These oatmeal cookies make their own frosting while they bake. Very tasty and addictive.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, and vegetable oil until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture, then mix in the rolled oats. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Roll cookie dough into walnut sized balls, roll the balls in the confectioners sugar to coat, and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
