Oatmeal Chewies

Combine the oats and sugar with the oil.

Let stand at room temperature for an hour.

Add the egg, salt, vanilla and coconut and combine well.

The dough will have a crumbled appearance. Place level tablespoons of the dough on greased cookie sheets and bake in a moderate oven, 325°, for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Remove immediately from the cookie sheets. Makes 3 dozen.

I always bake this as a bar cookie in a 7 x 11-inch pan.
