I was going to post this until I saw it already listed. My sister-in-law sent this recipe to me. I did not have parchment paper so I used waxed paper. I lost two batches becuse of my oven temperture. The rest turned out okay with 9 minutes in the oven. Also, like Roseflr my first batch crumbled because I didn't let them cool long enough. After cooling I just lifted the corner of the waxed paper and peeled the paper away from each cookie. I also made them gluten free by using g/f oatmeal. Thanks for the recipe.

I made these to go along with a Mango Fool for dessert with girlfriends. The cookies turned out beautiful, thin and buttery. I substituted regular butter and left out the salt. I also used chopped roasted pistashios instead of pecans and the flavor is awesome. I used insulated (airbake) pans with lightly oiled parchment paper. They are very delicate; crisp, but not at all crumbly. Perhaps I needed to bake a little longer to be crisper because they actually tend to droop if held too long and would stick to each other so I separated with wax paper until time to eat them.

I prepared these WW German Oatmeal Lace Cookies for my famlies (ancestral) German Christmas Gathering this 2009. I,m the one each year to make the traditional cookies that I have since childhood. This sub for the old traditional Lace Kache was totally more enjoyed by most of the family. They really liked the flavor and the good nutrition (non-overfattening aspect. And, I had enjoyed the ease in preparation.

I never expected the results I got: when I tried to remove them from the cookie sheet, they just crumbled into granola-like crumbs. I followed the directions exactly except used walnuts not pecans, but that wouldn't make a difference. The flavor turned out good, and I'll eat this like trail mix or granola, maybe use to top ice cream, but it's certainly not a cookie. The biggest piece was the size of a quarter.

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
