      Title: Market Mystery Cookies
 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 200 Cookies
 
    1/2 c  Butter
      1 c  Dark brown sugar; packed
  1 1/4 c  Old fashioned rolled oats
      2 tb Old fashioned rolled oats
      1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
      1 ts Vanilla
 
  Recipe may be doubled, but no more.

  Melt butter in top of double boiler over simmmering water. Stir in
  sugar until lump-free and smooth, stir in oatmeal, then egg. Cook
  dough uncovered, 1 hour over barely simmering water, stirring
  occasionally. Remove top of double boiler from heat, add vanilla
  and let dough stand at room temperature 1 hour, to firm. Dough is
  quite runny when hot.

  Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover cookie sheets with foil, set aside.
  Drop dough by level 1/4 ts, 1/2" apart. Bake 7 minutes or until
  well-browned. Cool to lukewarm, when cookies will peel away from
  foil. Store in tightly covered container, with padlock, if desired.

  Yield: 1 Pound
