3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir ingredients well. Pour sugar mixture into the oat mixture and still until mixed well.

4. Roll cookie dough into small 1-inch balls and place on an an insulated baking sheet leaving 3 inches between each ball. (For best results, refrigerate cookie dough for at least an hour before rolling it out.) When ready to bake, lightly spray each ball with butter-flavored cooking spray.
