Instructions
Oatmeal Lace Cookies
preheat + measure + mix
Preheat your oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, measure and mix together 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch of salt. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup oats and 2 tablespoons flour and then add in the butter-sugar mixture. Mix everything together well!
drop + spread + bake
Drop tablespoons of batter about 2 inches apart on your lined baking sheets (leaving room for them to spread). Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, closely watching so they don't burn. Cool the cookies on a plate, and they will get crispy as they cool!
