Oatmeal Lace Cookies
These cookies are a wonderful combination of crispiness and chewiness, all thanks to the oats. The recipe is straightforward, and the result is simply delightful. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Chocolate chips (optional, for extra deliciousness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add the baking soda and salt, combining them thoroughly into the mixture.
- Gradually stir in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the oats and chopped nuts, if using. If you love a little chocolatey flavor, toss in some chocolate chips too!
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. You want them to be a little soft in the middle.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
