Oatmeal Lace Cookies With Dried Tart Cherries

Oatmeal Lace Cookies With Dried Tart Cherries


1. Set oven rack in the center; preheat to 400°F

2. Lightly oil 3 baking sheets or coat with nonstick cooking spray, and dust them with flour, shaking off excess.

3. Combine oats, corn syrup and oil in a medium bowl.

4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until it begins to turn a light, nutty brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the butter.)

5. Pour into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.

6. Beat egg and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes. Blend in vanilla.

7. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; fold into the egg mixture.

8. Add the oat mixture and dried cherries; stir gently to combine.

9. Spoon the batter by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.

10. Bake, one sheet at a time, for about 4 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and lacy.

11. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then carefully remove cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a flat surface (NOT a rack).
