Oatmeal Lace Cookies Recipe

Make a batch to take to the office

From the, "Houston Junior League Cookbook," published in cooperation with your Daily InBox newsletter.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup margarine


• 1/2 cup butter


• 1 cup white sugar


• 1 cup brown sugar


• 2 eggs


• 2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats


• 1 teaspoon baking powder


• 1 teaspoon vanilla


• 1 cup finely chopped pecans

TO PREPARE:

Cream margarine and butter. Add white sugar and brown sugar; cream well. Mix in eggs, oats and baking powder. Then add vanilla and pecans. Line cookie sheets with wax paper. Drop dough from a teaspoon onto wax paper allowing at least 4 inches between cookies, as they spread. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from wax paper to wire rack. (If cookies are removed while too warm they will lose their shape; if allowed to cool too much, cookies will stick to wax paper.) Store in an air-tight container.

YIELD: 5 dozen cookies
