OATMEAL COOKIES 
1 lb melted butter (parkay margerine) 
1 small box old fashion quaker oats 
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 
3 cups flour (self-rising) 
4 eggs 
2 teaspoons vanilla 
2 teaspoons butter flavoring 

You will need a LARGE bowl for mixing. 

Mix all dry ingredients together in your large bowl. 
In another bowl - beat eggs then add the eggs, vanilla, and butter flavoring and melted butter to your dry ingredients. 
Mix well then refridgerate at least overnight. 
Take chilled dough and shape into round balls with your hands. 
Place these on a cookie sheet, and gently smush with a smooth bottom glass that has been dipped in sugar. 
(Rub some dough on glass for the sugar to stick the first time.) 
You just press the ball semi-flat. 
Bake at 375 until barely brown for chewy cookies. 

You can also add rasins or chopped walnuts if you like. 
At Christmas and Easter I use the colored sugars of the season to smush them with. 
I bake most of my cookies on parchment baking sheets. It keeps the cookies from sticking.
