We almost had a cookie disaster!! I halved the recipe and used brown sugar as suggested in another review. I put six 1/2 tbs balls on a sheet and when I went to check them after five minutes, they looked done, but I left them for five more minutes since the recipe says 10-12 minutes for baking time. Long story, short, nothing tastes worse than burnt oatmeal! They also came out a bit too "lacey" for me. My husband took one look at them and said, "What did you do?!" I added 1tbs of flour and cooked the next batch for six minutes, pressing the cookies flat after three -much better, but the taste was pretty bland so I gave them a liberal sprinkling of cinnamon and white sugar and the result was fantastic! My husband was very impressed with how I saved them. I made these for a dinner party I was invited to and am a bit worried about how they will travel since they are so delicate, but I'm going to give it the old college try! I will be making these again as they are quick and simple, but I think the cinnamon is a must! Thanks for posting. P.S. I put them on greased parchment paper and had no trouble removing them at all.

These are so easy to make and taste so rich! I used 1/2 marg. and 1/2 butter. I had to leave in the oven for 15 minutes b4 the edges started to brown. I had to learn to remove them VERY carefully from the pan! I had a couple casualties, which my DH snapped up. I used parchment paper and they were still sticky on the bottom, not dried on, but sticky and very fragile. But after letting cool, they were fine. Similar to a lace cookie that my dad makes each year; but I like these better. These would be good with coconut mixed in or almond flavoring.

Wow! I can't get over these, they are beautiful. Utterly thin, easy to make. A tad too sweet for me, but they still deserve 5 stars. Can't wait to hear my family's comments! Thank you
