Answer 1

EASY OATMEAL LACE COOKIES

1/2 lb. softened butter (two sticks)
3 c. oatmeal
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fold in oatmeal one cup at a time. Drop mixture by level teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet (4 across and 5 down). Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are thin and golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing from sheet. Place cookie sheets side by side, do not stack in oven.

Makes about 100.

Answer 2

The trick to making lace cookies is in the technique. I've detailed the aluminum foil technique in the following recipe. Remember, you will probably mess up a couple of times before you get the technique right. The usual errors are 1. using too much batter--you use very little and it spreads and 2. letting the cookie cool on the aluminum foil either too little or too much.

It doesn't take long to make them perfectly, but you do need to try a couple of times first before you get it right. The following recipe comes from my mother-in-law who is a lace cookie genius. The joke in our family is that these are more addictive than heroin.

List of Ingredients


2 C quaker oats
2 C sugar
1 T flour
1/2 t salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla



Instructions


Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients.
Melt butter and pour over the oats while very hot. Stir until sugar is melted completely.
Fold in eggs and vanilla and mix until blended.
Cover cookie sheets with aluminum foil. Drop teaspoons full of dough 2 inches apart. (Cookies will SPREAD).
Back about 10 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Watch carefully. These are easy to burn.
Let cookies cool on the foil and then peel foil off and start another batch.
Makes about 5 doz cookies.



Final Comments


These can be frozen I am told, but they've never lasted long enough to try it.

Answer 3

Here is a recipe that I have made before it was very good.
Oatmeal Lace Cookies
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup oats
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
In a mixer with a paddle combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl stir together wet ingredients then blend them into dry ingredients. Drop spoonfuls of batter, spaced far apart, onto nonstick sheet pans and bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Answer 4

Makes about 72 cookies

1 1/2 cups oatmeal (not instant)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 ounces butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the oatmeal, brown sugar, flour and salt.

Stir in the melted butter, then add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.

Drop the batter by half teaspoonsfuls about 2 inches apart onto parchment paper atop baking sheets. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and cool just enough to handle. Peel the foil away from each cookie and carefully transfer to wire racks to cool.
