   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

   In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat until smooth. At low speed or with a wooden spoon, combine with the dry ingredients.

   With a 60 ml (¼ cup) ice cream scoop, place six to seven dough balls on each baking sheet. Press the balls so that they are about 2-cm (¾-inch) thick.

   Bake one sheet at a time for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
