Lacy Oatmeal Cookies
adapted from The New Basics Cookbook
Yield: 2 dozen (with a small scoop)
Oven: 350°F.
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
Toss the oats, flour, cinnamon, and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cream the butter and both sugars together in a mixing bowl until light. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Slowing beat in the dry ingredients, add the raisins and walnuts.
Drop the mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls or use a small scoop, about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden, 10 minutes. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes to cool slightly; then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
