as written these did not spread but ended up like oat shortbread almost. For the 2nd half of the batch I added 1 T. corn syrup and 1T. water to it. That gave me a lace cookie.

Oh my how I love these cookies. With a dairy allergy in our house, it's sometimes hard to find dairy-free cookie recipes. I came looking for a lace cookie recipe without chocolate or nuts, and...
