Makes 3 dozen Sandwich Cookies
recipe by Better Homes and Gardens
2/3 cup butter
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 11.5-ounce package milk chocolate pieces (2 cups)
1)Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (or foil, but parchment is easier.) Set aside.
2)In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in oats, sugar, flour, molasses, milk, vanilla, and salt.
3) Drop by rounded teaspoonfulls, 3 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. With floured fingertips, press down until the dough is very thin.
4)Bake in the 375 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cookies are lacy and golden. Cool completely, about 15 inutes. Peel the parchment away from the cookies.
5)In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate pieces over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate on the bottoms of half the cookies. Top with the unfrosted cookies.
These are my very favorite cookies for the holidays.
