Half the Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

Some years back, I stayed at a B&B in the middle of the Willamette National Forest in Oregon.  My host made the most amazing oatmeal cookies, which contained only half the sugar as normal...{they were outstanding!}  However, I did not get the recipe and have been looking for one since 2007.  Well, after extensive search, I finally found one {that would do...more or less}, but not to the degree that she made them...{ I think her TLC was the secret}. Alas, mine did not even come close; however, I gave it a shot.

1 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sugar in the raw

2 eggs

1/2 tea spoon baking soda

1/4 tea spoon sea salt

1 tea spoon vanilla extract

2 cups whole oats

1 1/2 - 2 cups wheat flour

Combine melted butter and sugar.  Add eggs, baking soda, salt, and vanilla.  Stir in oats and sifted flour until desired dough consistency.  Scoop onto baking sheet leaving 2 inches in between. Bake at 350 8-12 minutes.  I like mine a tad under-done so I go about 6-8 minutes. Enjoy!
