Ingredients

cooking spray
½ cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg beaten
1 cup quick cooking oats
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add sugar and stir until combined. Add beaten egg and mix well.
Stir in oats, flour, vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Mix until combined.
Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet leaving space for the cookies to spread (we put 6 cookies on a sheet).
Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are browned.
Let cool completely before removing from parchment paper.

Notes

These cookies do spread a lot as they bake, so 6 cookies per sheet pan is the maximum that will fit. While baking, the cookies can quickly go from not quite ready to too dark, so it is definitely necessary to keep a close eye on them as they bake.

- Store the batter covered and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Allow time for it to come to room temperature before baking.

- STORE. Place cooled cookies in a protective airtight container.
  - - Use wax or parchment paper to separate layers of cookies so they don't stick together. When properly stored cookies should last for 5-7 days.

- FREEZE for up to 3 months. Since they are quite delicate I recommend placing them in a freezer ziploc and then into a sturdy protective container.
