| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 In a large mixing bowl cream the butter, oil, and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and salt and mix well. Add soda, oats, and flour just until incorporated.

| Step 2 | |
| In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and 2 Tbs milk. If too thick add more milk 1 Tbs at a time until desired consistency is reached. | |
