Irish Lace Cookies

This recipe produces yummy wafer thin and crunchy oatmeal and brown sugar cookies that resemble "Lace". Be sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe, not "instant" or "quick-cooking". For a unique additon to a dessert, roll warm cookies into cylinders and add to the side of a dessert plate.

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
2 TB Flour
2 TB Milk
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 1/4 cups Old-Fashioned Oats

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the oats. Drop by teaspoonfuls into ungreased cookie sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Cool slightly, then move with a spatula to a wire rack.

As an alternative, roll the slightly cooled cookies into cylinders then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
