Oatmeal cookies made with this dough are thin, lacy, and easy to remove off the baking sheet. Excellent when rolled into tubes when still warm and dipped in chocolate or served with ice cream.

Reviews
These cookies are light and crispy, and perfect eaten alone or crumbled over ice cream. It is a very sweet cookie. They spread very easily so be sure to use a small amount for each cookie.
These cookies are delicious! You HAVE to space them as directions say. I used. 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, I used parchment paper, and on half of the cookies , I made chocolate frosting with coconut in it. OMG !!! YUMMY!!
I don’t know what went wrong. I tried two different times to make these and both times this is what they looked like. Very disappointed. Looking for another recipe now.
If you like thin, crispy, buttery cookies, this recipe is perfect! I was nervous that they might be fragile or difficult to handle, but they were not. Whole family loves them.
I made three batches. One plain, one with caramel chips and one with confetti chips…those are still in the oven. Yummmm!!!
Followed the recipe as it was printed in the Allrecipes magazine – basically chill the dough for an hour, bake on parchment one pan at a time, and let them cool on the pan. Mine were done in 13 minutes. These are so good, and thin and crispy!!
I reviewed the recipe printed in their magazine. wish I would have double checked online before wasting 2 pans of cookies. Follow this recipe & you will be pleased,
Amazing! Use parchment paper! And watch carefully, cook times vary!
These cookies are very good. They are chewy and sweet. Great for Christmas! I made exactly as the recipe states and they turned out great.
Very easy recipe with minimum ingredients. I would make these again.
EXCELLENT! Very easy to make, and they turned out perfectly. Crispy, and a good-looking cookie as well.
Love these cookies! They bring back so many wonderful memories of coming home from school to a warm hug from mum and a chat over cookies and milk. Thank you !
addictive! just make sure the butter is extra softened to get the lacy effect
These are very good and they were easy to make. My husband really enjoyed them.
I accidentally put a cup of flour over the oats and guessed the amount, as I removed it. It still turned out really well and plan on making these over and over again. Easy peasy.
These were delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as written (I didn’t add extra flour) but did add chopped walnuts to half of the batch. They turned out perfectly and the fam had them gone by days end.
2nd review. discovered peeling foil from cookie rather than cookie from foil works! I need to use less spray tho kinda slimy.
They are thin, so I thought they wouldn’t be that great. But they are AMAZING!
I made the mistake of putting the dough on the pan 2 1/2 centimetres apart instead of inches. After everyone quit laughing at my giant cookie, I quickly cut it into smaller squares while it was still warm. No one laughed then because they were all busy devouring them!
Good light crisp cookie but skip the chocolate– They just break when you try to dip them (They are very fragile)
Excellent and perfectly easy recipe. I love how thin the cookies are and the texture and taste wonderful!!
