Grandma's Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. uncooked quick oats
3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. semi sweet chocolate chips or raisins

Optional glaze for raisin cookies:
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix butter and both sugars. THen add egga dn vanilla and beat until smooth. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix well. Then stir in the oats and chocolate chips (or raisins). You might need to use a wooden spoon for that, instead of beaters.

Drop onto prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Don't flatten them. Bake 10-12 minutes or until barely golden brown. Leave on cookie sheet a minute and then remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

If you want to glaze raisin cookies, in a small dish, stir together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. You can use a spoon to drizzle over the top of COOLED cookies. This is SO YUMMY!
