Oatmeal Jam Jams

Your aunt/grandma/mom/friend probably makes something similar and probably calls them something else, but these are the real deal. My Nana made them, my mom made them and now I make them. I have no children, so I'm expecting you to make them.


You can see that the recipe assumes you already know how to make cookies. In exchange for carrying on my family recipe I will provide better directions. You're welcome.

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamed and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then beat until well combined.
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Add the dry ingredients, then mix until well combined.

Roll into little balls and dent with finger. Fill dent with jam. Bake at 350F for about 10 or 15 minutes.

I used jam that I bought at a groovy little farmers market in BC while I was staying at my friends "cabin"
