Ingredients
½ c | butter |
¼ tsp | baking soda |
½ c | hot water |
3 c | oatmeal |
1 c | flour |
½ c | brown sugar |
Bust Out
baking sheet | |
rolling pin |
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- If the butter isn't soft / at room temperature, nuke it 10 seconds at a time until it is.
- Dissolve baking soda in hot water (add a little more water if needed).
- With your hands, I don't think you can do it with a machine or spoon, combine oatmeal, flour, brown sugar with butter.
- Add baking soda & water mix, with your hands mix and mold into a ball in the bowl.
- Press it out onto an ungreased baking sheet. Roll it with a rolling pin or a glass or can to get the thickness even. I make mine ¼" thick, some people like 'em thicker. Or you can cut them in rounds or any shape with a glass, tin can or cookie cutter.
- If you haven't cut them in shapes already, score to 2-3" squares, rectangles or diamonds. You'll use these lines for clean cuts after baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. They should be crisp and crunchy, not chewy.
- Separate the along the score lines with a thin knife and place on a rack to cool.
