Mare Z Dotes
3 cups Oats
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Boiling Water
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Flour
1 cup Butter (or) Oleo
1 teaspoon Soda
Mix together oats, sugar & flour, add
melted oleo and mix well. Dissolve
soda in boiling water & add to
mixture. Form dough into a roll &
chill thoroughly. Slice thin &
bake in moderate oven 5 to 10 minutes.
I sometimes just drop spoonfuls of the fresh
mix on the cookie sheet and bake.
Sometimes I add 1 tablespoon of vanilla or
cinnamon.
Grandma sent this here written out on the
back of a Aug. 2, 1980 Oakland Tribune
article "Eating bugs: termite pilaf, bee won
ton" with a note: "Just to keep you up to
date – other culinary hints on the other
side..." The name of the cookie comes
from the 1943 novelty song "Mairzy Doats. (>)"
