From my Grandma~a family tradition on Valentine's day (although they'd be good for any holiday for cutting out & decorating)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (I've subbed in 3/4 cup whole wheat flour & can't tell a difference~& then they're healthy, right?? :) )
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup oats
Mix together flour, baking powder, & salt.
Add in wet ingredients & blend well. (I know, it's weird that you don't cream together the butter & sugar first, but it works. Trust me)
Mix in oats. Mixture will be clumpy/crumbly, but you can form it into a ball and then roll it out for cut outs of your choice.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Frost & decorate (my Grandma used an icing of 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla, 1 Tbs cream & food coloring of your choice)
