lace cookie

Delicate oat crisp

A lace cookie is a thin, crisp cookie made from a batter heavy in butter and sugar that spreads dramatically while baking, creating a delicate, lattice-like pattern of holes resembling lace fabric.

The cookies are often made with oats or nuts and may be shaped into curves or rolled into tubes while still warm: She draped the lace cookies over a rolling pin to form tuiles.
