Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup sliced or slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, fine sea salt, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of leavening and flavoring agents.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the large egg, melted unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and almond extract until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  4. Incorporate wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir until just combined without overmixing, which helps maintain a light, crisp texture.
  5. Add sliced almonds: Fold in the sliced or slivered almonds evenly through the batter to ensure each cookie has a crunchy nutty bite.
  6. Spoon onto baking sheet: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough spaced about 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. The batter will spread considerably, forming delicate lace-like cookies.
  7. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn a golden brown and the cookies are thin and crisp.
  8. Cool the cookies: Remove baking sheets from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the sheet to maintain their shape and texture. Use a spatula to gently transfer to wire racks once cool.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the sliced almonds lightly before folding them into the batter.
  • Ensure cookies are spaced well apart on the baking sheet, as they spread easily during baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve crispness for up to one week.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent cookies from sticking and aid in easy clean-up.
