Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Can substitute with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar Light brown sugar can be used for a lighter taste.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Feel free to adjust amounts to suit your preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Agave syrup can be an excellent substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste/Extract Pure vanilla extract works well for a simpler option.

  • 1 large Egg A flax egg can work for vegan alternatives.
  • 1 cup Quick-Cooking Oats Don't substitute with old-fashioned oats.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Almond or gluten-free flour may be adjusted for those avoiding gluten.
  • 1/2 cup Bittersweet Chocolate (chopped) Optional; milk or white chocolate can be used for different flavors.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lace Cookies
  1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup of salted butter until just melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add 1 large egg into your mixture, whisking steadily until fully combined and smooth, creating a rich base.
  3. Gently fold in oats and flour using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart, and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
