Preheat oven to 350°. Combine oats, sugar, flour, salt and melted butter. Add slightly beaten egg and the vanilla. Mix well. Drop dough by teaspoons on to a well greased Teflon pan. Leave plenty of space on cookie sheet as these spread out to give the lacey appearance. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet while still hot. Yield: 4 dozen.
