oatmeal crispies
(suicide cookies)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
dash of salt
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
about 2 cups powdered sugar for topping
mix first 3 ingredients together. add dry ingredients. chill 20-30 minutes.
use a medium or small cookie scoop to make dough balls.
flatten each dough ball with a flat-bottomed glass dipped in flour.
bake 8-10 min at 350 until edges just start to look golden.
pile a rounded T. of powdered sugar immediately on top of the cookie while it's still on the pan.
move the cookies with a spatula a bit so they don't stick to the pan as they cool.
makes 4 dozen. they freeze great!
for me, they're dangerous for a completely different reason. they're just too, too good. now that i've found them, i think i'll be needing these christmas crispies every year... forever.

Oh, I'm glad you posted this because I couldn't remember the real name of these cookies so I couldn't find the recipe! I only know them as suicide cookies, HA! Now I can make them again :)
These look SO good! Might have to make an addition to the baking marathon I'm doing tomorrow. Thanks Summer!
I love that these cookies look like they're covered in a blanket of snow! Perfect for the holidays!
these look delish!
Oh dear! I have everything needed for these at home right now. I've eaten all the gingerbread men and think I am dire need of cookies. I'm going to be forced to make these tonight. Since it's just me and the dog I hope I don't have any problems with them. She's not much help in a cookie emergency!
