How to Celebrate Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day

Here is a recipe for Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day:

Ingredients:

• 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (220g) packed dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups (170g) thick-cut rolled oats (or substitute regular rolled oats)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper1.
2. Place the butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm, stirring frequently, until the butter and brown sugar melt into a thick brown paste1.
3. Stir a few times as this is happening to make sure the butter and sugar are melting evenly. It’s ready when you have a thick brown paste1.
4. Add the oats and flour to make a thin batter1.
5. Spread the batter into a thin layer on the baking sheet so the oats are in a single flat layer before you bake them1.
6. The cookies will continue to spread during baking, so make sure to place the cookie batter at least two inches apart1.
7. Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges turn golden1.
8. Allow the cookies to cool, then peel them off with your fingers1.
