Oatmeal lace cookies

These cookies are delicate and sweet – and not too heavy for a delicious morning meal.

What you’ll need

½ cup unsalted butter

1 cup sugar 1½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats ¼ cup all-purpose flour 1 tbsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt

The how-to

1 Mix butter and sugar using a mixer fitted with a paddle (or use a rubber spatula) until creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add remaining ingredients and mix again. Cover and refrigerate. 2 Heat oven to 180°C. Place teaspoonfuls of dough 5cm apart on a baking sheet and smash down a bit (they will spread). Bake until golden brown (12-16 minutes). Allow to rest for about two minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool. Makes about 36 cookies.
