These are great when you want to make a simple, yet elegant cookie for holiday gift giving.  I make mine with all organic ingredients as well.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 c        Salted Butter, softened
• 2/3 c        Brown Sugar, packed
• 1/4 tsp     Salt
• 1/2 tsp     Baking Powde
• 1 cup       Rolled oats
• 1/2 c        Chopped pecans
• 1 T           Milk - whole, 2% or half n half
• 1 tsp        Vanilla Extract  OR  1/4 tsp Lemon extract

DIRECTIONS

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Stir in salt, baking powder, oats, pecans, milk and vanilla (or lemon) extract, blending well.

Drop by teaspoons about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350F abut 8 minutes.  Cool 2 to 3 minutes then remove from sheet promptly.  If cookies harden before they can be removed from the baking sheet, reheat in the oven a few minutes to soften them.

Cookies will be very very thin and lacy.  If desired, while cookies are still warm you can roll them into cornucopia shapes for an extra fancy look.

Yield: About 30 cookies.
