Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients
500 g oven toasted oats
250 g butter/margarine
250 g sugar
2-3 eggs
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
2-3 tablespoons flour
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius.  Pour oats and butter into a warm pot.  Mix well, then let cool.  After the mixture has cooled, add the other ingredients and mix well.  Scoop a bit of dough onto the cookie sheet and form it into the preferred shape.  Do the same with the rest of the dough.  Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until ready.  Let cool and eat!
Yum, yum, yum!!!!!!!!!
