Lacy Oatmeal Crisp Cookies

I followed the directions exactly and they turned out good. They DO spread out A LOT so take that into consideration. I needed to let mine cook over 15 minutes before the edges browned. I used sprayed foil on my cookie sheets and they came right off without sticking. Alteration: I put a thumb print in half of mine and filled it with strawberry jam - those tasted very good.

These are so easy to make and taste so rich! I used 1/2 marg. and 1/2 butter. I had to leave in the oven for 15 minutes b4 the edges started to brown. I had to learn to remove them VERY carefully from the pan! I had a couple casualties, which my DH snapped up. :) I used parchment paper and they were still sticky on the bottom, not dried on, but sticky and very fragile. But after letting cool, they were fine. Similar to a lace cookie that my dad makes each year; but I like these better. These would be good with coconut mixed in or almond flavoring. UPDATE: Do not use any "light" margarine! It has too much water in it. To salvage them, I crumbled the dough onto the sheets and baked them longer and they came out like basic garnola.

Wow! Simple and delicious. I could not stop eating these. My son called them granola cookies. I flattened out the dough ball a little bit because I was getting a little yummy & chewy bump in the middle, but we love the crispy edges more. This way I reduced the baking time to 12 from about 15 minutes. My dough balls were kinda big. YUMMY! Thank you.

Hmmmm... when Anme says "spaced pretty far", she's not kidding. I thought my small balls were spaced far enough apart... but they ended up forming into one, large, cookie-sheet sized cookie (it came off pan easily, but with that amount of butter, that wasn't shocking...) I cut them into circles but they just fell apart. I basically ended up with bits and pieces. I should have used 4 cookie sheets for this recipe, instead of two. Also, the amount of butter in this is extreme, to say the least. I wonder if it would turn out with less butter. The pieces tasted yummy, but everything tastes good with a half pound of butter and a cup of sugar in it.

I did not care for this recipe. They did not flatten out like they were supposed too. They crumbled too easily. I made these cookies with another recipe and they worked out perfectly. Do not use this recipe!!

We almost had a cookie disaster!! I halved the recipe and used brown sugar as suggested in another review. I put six 1/2 tbs balls on a sheet and when I went to check them after five minutes, they looked done, but I left them for five more minutes since the recipe says 10-12 minutes for baking time. Long story, short, nothing tastes worse than burnt oatmeal! They also came out a bit too "lacey" for me. My husband took one look at them and said, "What did you do?!" I added 1tbs of flour and cooked the next batch for six minutes, pressing the cookies flat after three -much better, but the taste was pretty bland so I gave them a liberal sprinkling of cinnamon and white sugar and the result was fantastic! My husband was very impressed with how I saved them. I made these for a dinner party I was invited to and am a bit worried about how they will travel since they are so delicate, but I'm going to give it the old college try! I will be making these again as they are quick and simple, but I think the cinnamon is a must! Thanks for posting. P.S. I put them on greased parchment paper and had no trouble removing them at all.

I have made these before with a couple of changes: Instead of placing them directly on cookie sheets, line your cookie sheets with lightly greased foil and they will peel off easily. Also, I melt milk chocolate chips and sanwich these together. Delicious! Great recipe!

I took these to my church's social hour and got rave reviews. I'm looking up the recipe again so I can email it to someone who asked for it. They are so easy and so very tasty. Thanks for posting the recipe!

These cookies remind me of something we used to make long ago that we called 'Candy Cake'. It is a cake so, of course, thicker but has the same rich and sweet flavour. These are the most fragile cookies I have ever made. I did break a few but my husband suggested to keep the pieces and they would taste great on ice cream. I did plan to put them on my Christmas trays but I think they may not survive it. I did make the cookies about half the size suggested. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Wow! I can't get over these, they are beautiful. Utterly thin, easy to make. A tad too sweet for me, but they still deserve 5 stars. Can't wait to hear my family's comments! Thank you

These cookies are really good. Light, sweet, crispy and fragile. I used brown sugar when making them. They are huge, however. I think next time I'll try making them a bit smaller.
