LACE COOKIES



My friend Fran bakes cookies.

She makes these SCRUMPTIOUS  Lace Cookies often... and I think they are one of the most delicious cookies I have ever eaten.... 


If you like crispy,crunchy sweetness with a delicate taste of butterscotch... and the chewy yumminess of oatmeal... this is your cookie!!!



Crispy~ chewey deliciousness!

Fran so happily shared her recipe... and now I'm sharing it with you!



FRAN'S LACE COOKIES

1 package of butterscotch "cook and serve" pudding (or vanilla)
2 cups of quick cook rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans- chop very finely in food processor
3/4 butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla


 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put all the ingredients in a big bowl and smoosh it with you fingers until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Roll dough into walnut size balls and put 6 balls on a large parchment lined baking sheet.

Press each ball flat using a drinking glass with a large bottom.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until very golden brown. Don't undercook or they will not hold together.

Gently remove cookies to a wire cooling rack with a large spatula. Let them cook completely.

These cookies are almost as pretty as they are tasty!

If any of the cookies crumble, save the crumbs and top ice cream or yogurt with them.

YUM!

  19. In the recipe, it says 3/4 butter. Is that 3/4 of a cup or 3/4 of a stick? Not quite sure how to proceed
