Colonial cookies

 I make these simple cookies for our Brazilian handyman. I'm pretty sure it's the only reason he agrees to drive from Rio Maior to Salir do Porto. They melt in your mouth.

1 cup butter (227 grams)

1 cup flour (125 grams)

1 tsp. Baking soda (6 grams)

1 cup sugar (111grams)

2 cups oats , uncooked (90 grams)

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Mix the sugar , butter, and baking soda very well with a pastry blender. Mix in oats. Take a 1 inch scoop measure and roll into balls. Dip a glass in extra sugar on a plate and flatten the balls. 

Bake until golden brown. Ovens very but around 10-12 minutes. They are delicate and crumble easily so don't make them too thin.
