In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. In a small bowl, stir together flour, oats, pine nuts, baking soda, and salt; stir into butter mixture until well blended. Cover and chill until cold, about 1 hour, or up to 1 day.
