together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to egg mixture. Stir in oats and
vanilla; blend well. Chill. Divide dough into sections for easy handling
and roll out very thin on floured surface. Cut into desired shapes
(traditionally squares or diamonds) and place on lightly greased cookie
sheet. Bake at 375 F. For 6-8 minutes.
NOTES : These are great on their own, or spread with butter when cool. You
can also put a some raspberry jam between two of them for a yummy snack for
the kids.
