Oatmeal Lace Cookies are thin, crisp, delicate and buttery cookies. This lace cookies recipe is a family favorite.
Preheat oven to 375º F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats. Set aside.
Heat butter and brown sugar in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden or silicon spoon, until butter has melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in oats, flour, salt, egg, and vanilla.
Drop cookie batter by the teaspoon onto prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie to allow them to spread.
Bake for 5 -7 minutes, watching closely to prevent them from over-baking. The lace cookies should be golden brown.
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 30 seconds and remove onto racks to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
