Preparation

Step 1

Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Beat in the flour, oats, and salt. Shape into 2 logs about 1 ½ inches (4 cm) in diameter and roll in chocolate sprinkles (or desired coating) to coat the surface. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) slices and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.
