      Holiday Oatmeal Cookies
      Submitted by mumpy on April 13, 2012 at 8:32 pm

      Crisp, rich, buttery cookies
      Yield: 45 cookies

      1 cup butter (8 oz.)
      3/4 cup sugar (reduce by 2 tablespoons if sprinkling with sugar for decoration)
      1 teaspoon baking soda
      1 cup flour (4.25 oz.)
      2 cups QUICK oats
      1 egg yolk (if doubling recipe, use one whole egg)
      (optional) decorator sugar

      Cream butter and sugar; beat in egg yolk. Combine dry ingredients and stir into butter mixture.

      Drop by teaspoonful on greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheets; flatten with fork to make criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle with colored sugar appropriate to the holiday.

      Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes, just starting to brown at edges. Cool on pan one minute before moving to rack.

      Dough bakes well after being frozen, either in bulk or in scoops; cookies also freeze well.
