Oatmeal Lace Cookies
Have you ever eaten lace? No…, not the doilies on your grandma’s table – oatmeal lace. A super crispy yet chewy, easy cookie. This cookie uses pantry staples, takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and has the tastiest, toffee/caramel flavor!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 3 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 Cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper (seriously, don’t skip this step! Go buy parchment if you don’t have any!!)
- In a small saucepan, melt brown sugar and butter. Over medium heat, stir frequently until you have a thick almost paste-like consistency. Remove from heat.
- Add flour, vanilla, and salt. Allow to cool for 10 minutes (also, don’t skip this unless you want scrambled eggs!).
- Mix in egg and oats. Stir until incorporated.
- Spoon 1 tbsp onto baking sheet. You want to make sure you’re leaving 3 or more inches of space in between them as they will flatten and SPREAD.
- Ideally, your cookies will be one single layer of oats. This is what gives it the lace like quality when cooked. I end up cooking these in batches.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Remove and allow to cool completely on the parchment paper. Once mostly cool, peel off parchment and enjoy!
