Grandma's Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

1/3 c Butter (margarine)
1/3 c Lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 c Warm water
1 c Flour, divided
1/4 cup aside
1 c Quick rolled oats
1 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Baking soda


Cream butter and sugar together thoroughly, then beat in water. Set
aside 1/4 cup flour for rolling. Mix together the remaining dry
ingredients, then stir them into the creamed mixture. Add the
remaining flour gradually to the dough until it is stiff enough to
roll.

Divide the dough into 3 lumps about the same size. Roll each lump of
dough out about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 12 pieces or use cookie
cutter. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F about
10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from pan,
cool. Store in a covered container. Makes about 36 cookies.
