Lacy Oatmeal Cookies

adishtopassadmin

This recipe comes from the Mrs. Fields Best Cookie Book Ever, so you know they’re good! They’re not like what you think of when you think “oatmeal cookies”. They’re buttery, chewy, lacy cookies that are VERY addictive. Be careful when you spoon the dough onto a cookie sheet as they tend to flatten out and spread quite a bit. You could end up with one really big cookie (which may or may not be a bad thing…)! Contributed by Rachel and Brendan Ingredients: 1 cup quick oats 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking powder … Continue reading Lacy Oatmeal Cookies
