Oatmeal Lace Cookies

These turned out easier than I expected to make. I did sub honey for the corn syrup, and I was more generous than 1/4 teaspoon when putting the dough on the pan. Some helpful hints: USE PARCHMENT PAPER; please, it will make your life easier. Let the edges get good and brown before you pull them from the oven; this type of cookie needs to brown more than a typical cookie. Finally, if you do everything else I’ve mentioned, the cookies should turn out fine, BUT you have to let them cool completely... like totally 100%... to get the right texture. We ate someway too soon, and they were delightful, but chewy. Some we let cool more, and they were far less chewy, but the ones we let cool completely had that nice snap that you want from a lace cookie. Hope this helps!

I generally decrease the amount of sugar in every cookie recipe I try just to be on the safe side, but for this recipe, I would definitely recommend going with the full sugar amount. I baked mine on a silpat so there was no issue with sticking. They were a bit greasy coming out of the oven, but once cooled, the greasiness went away (thank goodness!). Baking mine in a few batches, I find that I like these a bit more brown (around 9 minutes in my 375-degree oven), which adds more flavor and crispness. Very good recipe, definitely worth a try! Be sure to leave plenty of room between scoops of dough or they will blend together for sure.

I made these for my husband who use to get them as a child from his mom. I had to find the exact recipe and here it was! For Christmas Eve, I made them to specification; however, I did add a little cinnamon and sugar McCormick sprinkle and they were delicious! I baked them for 4 minutes as I have a gas stove and anymore and it would have burned. They were wonderful and my husband was so happy with me :-)

We thought these were a great cookie. Make sure you bake the cookie until the edges are brown by that time the bottom of the cookie is crisp. Once cooled on the pan for about a minute you can actually pick the cookie off the pan- the first batch was a little too light and I needed the spatula. YUMMY Cookie! I did sub honey for the corn syrup.

I found that letting these cool on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes made getting them off a lot easier.
