Snowman Oatmeal Cookies

Snowman Oatmeal Cookies
 
 1/2 cup of butter or margarine
 2/3 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
 1 Egg
 1 teaspoon of vanilla
 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
 2 1/2 cups of Oats (quick or old fashioned)
 Icing in tubes
 Candy sprinkles
 small Children, (optional)

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350ºF.  Lightly grease two cookie sheets. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, beat well. In separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda; mix well. Add to butter mixture; mix well. Stir in oats; mix well. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Using hands, pat each portion of dough into a 1/4 inch thick snowman on cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; carefully remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Decorate as desired. Store tightly covered. Makes 4 Jumbo cookies. I found this recipe in the cooking section of; The News Herald Detroit Michigan (wed. November 19, 1997) Even though I don't have small children, I thought it would be a cute idea for a cold winter day. Maybe one of those no school snow days.
