"These are mighty speedy cookies if you remember to mix the oil and oatmeal and sugar together the night before. They have a chewy texture and an almond-macaroon taste."
The night before, mix together:
- 4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Next morning, mix in:
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 tspn salt
- 1 tspn almond extract
Drop them from a teaspoon onto a greased baking sheet, bake at 325 degrees, and remove them promptly when they're done.
