Ingredients

1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (or a little more)
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot water
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Stir together the oats, flour, salt and brown sugar. Dissolve the soda in the hot water (measure the soda carefully because too much leaves a noticeable taste in this recipe). Add the oil and the soda mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Pat mixture flat into a small cookie sheet. Cut into squares and bake at 350 degrees. Do not overcook, cookies should remain soft and chewy.
