I’m so excited to share with you my Grandma’s Award-Winning (literally, took home 1st place in her County Fair in 2007) recipe for Oatmeal Lace Cookies. I love any variation of oatmeal cookies to begin with, so I was really looking forward to trying out the “lace” type!
 {Here’s what you’ll need}

• 1 cup quick oats (uncooked)
• 1 cup flower
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 cup Splenda (or 1 cup sugar)
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla

{Directions}

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• Line a cookie sheet with foil, shiny side up
• Mix together oats, flour, baking powder & Splenda
• Add remaining ingredients, stirring well (note: it will have a very thick consistency)
• Drop no more than a tablespoon of dough at a time on the foil, spacing well, as they spread when baking
• Flatten dough some and bake 10-12 minutes, or until edges brown
• Remove foil with cookies on it
• At this point, if cookies stick together, cut apart with a spatula
• Cool cookies before removing from foil
• Makes about 3 dozen depending on size

 

As I was making the cookies, I was a little concerned because the mixture was such a thick, heavy consistency, but that’s totally normal and worth it in the end. These are some of the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had! Thanks Grandma!
