Make these simple oatmeal lace cookies that feature crispy edges and a chewy center. They are buttery, delicate, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup butter, unsalted, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Do not use silicone mats or grease the sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is important for texture.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart. The dough will spread significantly.
  7. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, watching carefully. The edges should be golden brown and lacy.
  8. Remove the sheets from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. They will be very soft.
  9. Use a thin spatula to carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a chocolate drizzle once the cookies are completely cool.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional baking, look into meal planning services for easier weeknight dinners.
  • These cookies are delicate; handle them gently when moving them from the pan.
