Swedish Rye Cookie

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup rye flour

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the rye flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with both sugars until the mixture looks light and airy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract. Work in the dry mixture gradually, stopping as soon as everything is just combined.
4. Scoop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets that have not been greased. Bake in the hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack so they can finish cooling.
