Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks, 8 ounces, 1/2 pound)
- 3/4 cup white (granulated) sugar

- 2 cups oatmeal (I used Quaker Oats – Quick-1 Minute)
- 1 egg yolk (use a large fresh egg)

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven 350º
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl on HIGH for approximately 1 and ½ minutes. Let it cool to room temperature. Mix in the white sugar.
Add the baking soda, flour, and oatmeal. Stir thoroughly.
Beat the egg yolk with a fork until it’s thoroughly mixed and a lighter yellow in color. Add it to the bowl and stir until it’s thoroughly incorporated.
Prepare to bake by greasing (or spraying with Pam or another nonstick cooking spray) a standard-sized cookie sheet. You can also use parchment paper if you wish.
Make small balls of dough with your fingers and place them on the cookie sheet, 12 to a standard-sized cookie sheet. Press them down with a fork in a crisscross pattern the way you’d do for peanut butter cookies.
Bake your Swedish Oatmeal Cookies at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until they’re just starting to brown around the edges. (Mine took 10 minutes.)
Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet, and then transfer them to a wire rack to complete cooling.
