Recipe for "oat-squares"

NAME

     OAT-SQUARES - Easy butterscotch oatmeal pan cookies
     The easiest cookies (actually cookie-like objects) to  make.
     My  mother  makes  these,  I  don't know where the recipe is
     from.

INGREDIENTS (makes 30-40)

     150 g     quick or instant oats
     200 g     brown sugar (packed)
     100 g     melted butter
     2.5 ml    vanilla

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Mix oats  and  brown  sugar,  mix  in  butter  and
               vanilla.
          (2)  Divide mixture evenly in 2 ungreased 20-cm  square
               pans, spread evenly.  Bake at 190 deg. C for about
               10  minutes  or  until  it   looks   golden-brown.
               Squares will be soft, but will harden when cool.
          (3)  Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then mark in  squares
               with  a  sharp  knife.   Loosen edges and allow to
               cool before removing from pans.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes preparation,  15  minutes
     cooking and cooling.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
