INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
