Oatmeal Lace Cookies

Directions

Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.

Melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan over very low heat.

In a small bowl beat the egg together with the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Stir in currants if using.

Stir in melted butter.

Stir the liquid ingredients into the oat-flour mixture and combine well.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 3 inches between each cookie.

These will thin and spread out.

Bake 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned.

Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheets for several minutes, until cookies hold their shape.

With a spatula, carefully remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container.
