Oatmeal Lace Cookies
**Ingredients:**
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 egg
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the oats until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for the cookies to spread.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.
10. Enjoy these lacy, delicate cookies with a cup of hot tea or a glass of milk. They also make a lovely gift when packaged in a decorative tin or box.
11. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if they last that long!).
Oatmeal Lace Cookies are a delightful change from the usual oatmeal cookie. Their delicate texture and light sweetness make them an ideal choice for a casual get-together or a cozy evening at home. Give this recipe a try and watch them disappear faster than you can imagine!
