Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 20M
Serves: makes 30 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups rolled (old-fashioned) oats
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil, plus more for the baking sheets

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly oil two baking sheets.
- Stir the oats, brown sugar, and oil in a bowl until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again.
