OATMEAL MAPLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to about 375 degrees, Farenheit.
• First, mix the flour and oatmeal in a medium-sized bowl.
• Then, mix the butter and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
• You should do this by hand so that the butter softens.
• After they have formed a nice, sweet, delectable slime, beat the egg in a measuring cup and add to the smaller bowl.
• Mix these well.
• After you have done this, add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ones.
• Again, mix these well.
• If it is too sticky (and it will be rather sticky no matter what-- this is a good thing), add a little more oatmeal.
• But not flour.
• We're done with the flour so using any more would ruin the integrity of the recipe.
• I promise.
• After it is about the right consistency, add a couple of drops of your maple extract.
• When this is complete, use a couple of forks to form a ball in the bowl.
• Then, on a lightly greased cookie sheet, use the forks to form little balls about an inch in diameter.
• It might take a few cookie sheets, but I usually get about eighteen or twenty cookies.
• You should leave each batch in for about 7-9 minutes, then let them cool on a counter or something of the like.
• they will still look like they aren't done yet, but this is only because of the large amount of butter glistening in the dough.
• After the cookies have cooled a few minutes, use a spatula to gently pry them from the pan.
• Eat while warm, they are nice and buttery.
