Lacy Oatmeal Cookies

Yield: 8 dozen

Ingredients

1 cup quick oats

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup salted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 325° F. Cover baking sheets with foil, then coat with a nonstick vegetable spray.
2. In a medium bowl combine oats, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed to form a grainy paste.
4. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
5. Add flour mixture and blend until just combined.
6. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets about 2 ½ inches apart. Really it’s a tiny amount of dough per cookie!
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden brown. Difference between this and burnt is a matter of seconds so watch closely.
8. Let cook, then peel off cookies with fingers (or peel foil off the back of the cookies).
9. Respray baking sheets between batches.
