Creator Notes
Attain my fundamental college, there become as soon as a exiguous shop named The Girls’s Alternate, where church-y ladies folk sold handcrafted doodads and selfmade treats. We on a conventional basis stopped in for their cookies – the correct like been known as, in attribute no-nonsense vogue, Cereal Cookies. Years later I attempted to repeat them, never rather getting it excellent-attempting. In a roundabout blueprint I came up with a sexy excellent-attempting facsimile of my childhood popular, or more importantly, my memory of it.
Entertaining, crunchy, buttery and caramel-y, they’re more admire a confection than a faded thick & chewy oatmeal cookie. They’re my son’s popular too, so all around the vacations I assuredly salvage a few batches on quiz. —amysarah

Directions
- Beat butter and sugar collectively. Next, beat in vanilla, salt and flour. Combine in oats till evenly integrated, then any optionally available factors you’re the exercise of.

- Preheat oven to 375 levels. Roll balls from scant tablespoons of dough. Save of living them about 3” apart on a parchment lined pan. Flatten each and every ball to about ¼” thick – I exercise the bottom of a little glass.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning pan midway, till cookies’ edges are brown and facilities are a tiny of bubbly. Rob away pan from oven – If any like spread collectively, separate with a knife or spatula edge while still very at ease.
