Oatmeal Lacies

These cookies are tasty, thin, and crispy. This recipe is the easiest I have tried. Almost fool proof (unless you over bake them).

3. In a separate bowl combine egg, vanilla, butter, and salt, mix well.
4. Slowly pour"wet" mixture into"dry" mixture, mix to a thick batter consistancy.
5. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup oats, mix well.
6. Drop by level teaspoonfulls onto greased cookie sheet about 2-3" apart (do not put them any closer, they spread very thin).
7. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes, or untill edges start turning golden brown.
8. Remove from cookie sheet while still warm (do not leave them on cookie sheet, or they will harden to the bottom and you will have to re-heat them to soften them) and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
