Oatmeal Lace Cookies

Refrigerator Cookies

There is something magical about the wisdom passed down by our grandmothers, especially when it comes to the art of baking.

One of their best-kept secrets is the power of preparing cookie dough, wrapping it snugly in waxed paper, and chilling it up to two days ahead until you’re ready to bake. This time-honored technique birthed the concept of refrigerator cookies, which are incredibly convenient for our busy lifestyles.

The Perfect Balance: Oats and Flour

One scrumptious example of these delightful treats is the oatmeal lace cookie. These cookies are a combination of texture and flavor. The perfect balance of a little more hearty oats than flour create a delectable lacy crunch that will melt in your mouth. And once you sink your teeth into that texture, you'll understand why these are called oatmeal lace cookies.

So, let’s continue to embrace the wisdom of our grandmothers and keep the baking tradition alive — preparing a batch of refrigerator cookies is the perfect, yummy solution for both modern and nostalgic bakers alike!
