Best Wheat Free Oatmeal Lace Cookies Recipes

OATMEAL LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the sugar is almost dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the oats, flour, vanilla and salt. Let cool 10 minutes, then stir in the egg white.
• Drop 6 rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, about 3 1/2 inches apart. Spread each mound into a 3-inch circle. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until firm, about 3 minutes, then carefully remove using a thin metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle on the cookies and let set, about 30 minutes.

WHEAT FREE OATMEAL LACE COOKIES

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!
