• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 (48 g) envelopes instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal (but any flavor should work) or 3 (48 g) envelopes instant apple and cinnamon oatmeal (but any flavor should work)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
3. In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
4. Using your hands, roll dough into 12 balls, flatten each one slightly and place them on a baking sheet.

These were pretty good! Cook time was too long for me - I would cut at least a minute off of the time for my oven. Mine ended up super crispy! I added a little vanilla and cinnamon for some kick and the flavor was great! Thanks! :)

I just made these, and like some other reviews, I was worried as I mixed it up - but get your hands in there and soon it will all come together. I pushed in a few butterscotch chips into each cookie to make them more like the oatmeal cookies that I grew up on. I LOVE these cookies. Great recipe! Awesome for people who might not Always have eggs in the fridge but still like to have a fresh baked cookie. I might never make "real" oatmeal cookies again! Thank you so much!!
