Ingredients

• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 7 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large bowl, mix together quick oats, sugar, salt, flour, and baking powder.

3. Pour melted butter over the dry ingredients.

4. Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

5. Drop by 1/2 teaspoons onto cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil, shiny side up, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

7. Cool the cookies on the foil for a few minutes, then carefully peel them off the foil to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the butter is melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the dry ingredients to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
• Use a teaspoon or half-teaspoon measure to drop the batter onto the cookie sheets for uniform size and shape.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely on the foil before attempting to remove them to avoid breakage.

Serving and Storage

These lace cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Layer them between sheets of parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.

Mrs. B’s family recipe brings warmth and nostalgia to every batch, making them perfect for sharing with loved ones or savoring quietly with a cup of tea.
