WHEAT FREE OATMEAL LACE COOKIES
I have never found a better lace cookie recipe - these do just the trick, and they're even wheat free! Definitely do-not-add-flour! If you haven't made them before, realize that these will be almost paper-thin. Because they spread out tremendously, you only need to use a tiny ball of dough per cookie (1/2 tsp. was suggested in another recipe) and should allow 2" space in between. I also recommend that you use an oven thermometer to double check your oven temp., as a cookie that takes this little time in the oven requires great accuracy! ENJOY! ***Special note: To make these gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free oats.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixer, cream butter or shortening and brown sugar. Add egg, vanilla, and pinch of salt ( about 1/8 teaspoon salt); beat until fluffy. Stir in oatmeal.
- *Special note about oatmeal: you have to use the quick-cooking kind - rolled oats will result in a crumble. If you only have rolled oats, briefly pulverize in a blender or food processor until small but not powdery.
- On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silpat mat, place tiny balls of dough (a little more than 1/2 teaspoon to get a 2" cookie - these spread!) about 2" apart.
- Bake exactly 6 minutes for chewy cookies, 7 minutes for crisp ones. The original recipe suggests 4 minutes for chewy, 5 for crisp, and I live at a high altitude so that may explain the change. Be sure to check them at 5 minutes.
- **Note about baking time - chewier cookies will be slightly opaque (or "doughy") looking in the very center when you take them out. Crisp cookies will have just turned clear.
- Let cool for just 2 minutes, then pick up the parchment paper or silpat mat and move the entire mat to a wire wrack. Do not try to remove the cookies until they are entirely cooled - they harden as they cool and will break if too soft.
- ***Try drizzling with melted chocolate, or sandwiching them together with buttercream or chocolate ganache. Rich and Delish!
