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.
