"LACE" COOKIES & Tips

LACE COOKIES
2 sticks of butter (room temp)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups quick oats
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix butter and sugar thoroughly. Add eggs, baking powder, vanilla oats and nuts. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon (and NO larger) onto parchment paper.
Bake for 6 minutes. You will have several batches so just wipe butter off of parchment paper and reuse. Also when you are done wipe off parchment, fold up, put in zip lock bag and store in freezer until you make cookies again.

I have been looking for this recipe for years. My mother made these for us when I was a child. She would curl them around a wooden spoon when they were still warm. O so good. Thank you for the recipe. This is a very old recipe.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

This was one of my earlier videos. The quality of video is not goid so I need to remake it.

[@shirleyking7974]

I used to make these for my boys and husband. My dad loved them too. My recipe said to cool on an upside down canning jar. The boys love that because the way they draped on the jar.

lace 🚫laced...😂 We make these in Italy And sometimes roll them around a wooden spoon while still warm and pipe with a cream filling then dip one end in chocolate....heavenly! Great job Leslie!

[@Lelliott1122]

I know addiction is not good! However, I am addicted to watching you cook! Second day of my marathon! I will make these, maybe today. Thank you❤️

[@Lelliott1122]

Also, I was raised on a farm with all kinds of animals and a big garden! It is wonderful to see all that goes on at your farm❤️

[@mpedmar9701]

Yummy yummy Leslie ! My mama used to make these when I was a little girl. She was famous for making these and the no-bake cookies for our Church Bizarre and Potluck dinners. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. God bless

I’ve always wanted to try making these cookies, but never got around to it. Definitely have to break down and make them. Looks so good.

[@georgiabridgman2850]

Absolutely great recipe! I’ll give you a tip for storing them. Put one or two of the little silica packets that come in a lot of medicines, shoes purses etc on the bottom of your container. Then put a crumpled piece of wax paper down and place your cookies on that. The silica absorbs the moisture and keeps them crisp.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! I will definitely try that. It's a good excuse to go buy a new pair of shoes!

@@TheFarmingPastorsWife Your reply is HILARIOUS!

How resourceful you are😏😉

I need to make these. I lost my recipe. Glad to find it here.💕

[@iluv2worship]

Hello~ Your cookies look beautiful and delicious!. :-) I'm so glad I found someone else who likes to bake these as much as I do. They're known as Victorian Lace cookies and they are my favorite! I really like the delicateness of the cookie and the great toffee taste. I crush pecans in mine as my husband really likes them. They're make a pretty dessert when you place a couple of cookies (cross ways) on top of vanilla ice-cream. I have made dozens of these cookies for a few years now. I give them as Christmas gifts and take them to our church Christmas party every year. As they're perfect for an after dinner dessert when you want something sweet but light after a big meal. May I offer a tip, so you don't have to wait on eggs to reach room temp. To speed up the process: I place the eggs in a very warm almost hot bowl of water from my sink faucet and they're room temp in a couple of minutes. Again, it was great to see someone else like these easy to make beautiful, delicious cookies as much as I do. Be blessed and Have a Merry Christmas~

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Awesome!! Thank you so much. I will have to try doing my eggs like that the next time I forget to lay them out. Which I do quite often Aren't these the best cookies? That are so good and pretty easy to make. It's about that time of year for me to start making them again. Thank you for the tip about the eggs and thank you for watching. Have a great day!

[@iluv2worship]

The Farming Pastor's Wife so sweet of you to reply~ Yes, these cookies are great! So easy to make with minimal ingredients. Who ever heard of baking cookies with no flour?? :-D I do understand about remembering to lay out eggs or cream cheese in advance... It's a GREAT idea... in theory! ;-) So, that's why it's good to have a back up plan. You're most welcome from one Southerner lady to another. Yes, it's time to start baking them again. I think I going to see about dipping the edges in chocolate this go around, they will look pretty and be my favorite! ;-)

[@marilynvancamp5031]

I made these cookies many years ago. I love the mixer I have seen it on another you tube channel ( the joy of baking ) What brand of mixer is it ? Thankyou for sharing. Iwill have to try them again.

[@sidneythompson159]

Thank you so much sweet girl. I've been afraid to try these due to the thinness but you showed how simple it is. Christmas here I come...😁

[@lizruiz8783]

Thank you for this recipe. Made them today and it was perfect!! A bit too sweet though but overall i had the consistency of the crispiness of the lace cookies. More power!!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Awesome! I'm so glad they turned out good. We love those cookies. Thank you for watching. Have a great day.

[@mariagukich8609]

This is the only recipe i always follow. Never failed.

[@patriciakoester1580]

Lace Cookies have always been my favorite ♥️

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

This is one of my older videos so the quality of the video is bad. I am going to remake it this week. I'm excited. I love these cookies.

[@fordictionclass]

If they running into each other, just press in between them with a spatula while they're still hot on the pan. It makes it way easier than waiting until they're cool. That goes for any cookie.

[@AgricossFarmer]

Good

[@atlenta1]

Thank you so very much for sharing. I loved your presentation.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you so very much!

[@maryschutte8368]

Thank you for posting. Very helpful tips. I've been wanting to try this recipe for awhile now. I.'m just curious: no salt in the recipe? Do you use salted butter then?

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Yes I use salted butter and when I do I leave out the extra salt. But if I had unsalted butter I would add a dash of salt. Thank you for watching!

[@Anita3kidsS.]

Leslie, Can you use Chopped pecans (smaller pieces) instead of the bigger pieces? Not talking real tiny. Thanks. I never made these

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

yes

[@robok]

I'm eating the dough by himself!!! It's delicious!!!!!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

I have never tried that... but I definitely will next time I make them.

[@mangotree2110]

Exactly what kind of mixer do you have ? Is it a Kenwood ? Love your recipes, really want to know about your mixer though 😂

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

That was my Better Home Garden mixer that my daughter has now

[@mangotree2110]

Maybe you can help me!! I need a recipe for cornbread that will not crumble when cut. I know its sounds dumb, I have made from scratch, box mixes, with honey, with butter etc. What am I doing wrong? Can't seem to find the problem. Please help me...thank you for such good recipes and entertainment is a plus!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

keep an eye out on my upcoming videos. I will do a cornbread one for you soon. I have a crackling cornbread video you can search and watch you would just leave out the crackling. and i don't make sweet cornbread so if you like it sweet you would have to add sugar.

[@X1mDH]

@@TheFarmingPastorsWife Thank you so much! No I like regular cornbread, well not mine anyway Lol

[@LeeLee-gm7fx]

An we use almond instead pecans ?

[@a.rosesrbleu9580]

I know this sounds strange, but are these denture friendly??? Seriously I have a friend who broke their new expensive dentures on a turtle candy and I don't want to risk that for them by making these for them....Are they crispy or chewy? Thanks for your help!!!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

oh yes! They are so delicate

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

crispy

[@a.rosesrbleu9580]

@@TheFarmingPastorsWife thank you for taking the time to help! God bless you!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

and when I say crispy it's not a hard crispy or crunchy it's just a delicate crispy

[@X1mDH]

cool

[@Justme77400]

If all you have is old fashioned oats just put that in a food processor or blender until it's fine. It will work. I LOVE these cookies but I've never put nuts in them.

[@chienimurmann]

Can Ｉreduce the sugar and still get the crispiness ?

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

You might can a little bit.

[@chienimurmann]

Thank you for the reply. Merry Christmas 🎄

I put powdered sugar on mine.

[@nadurkee46]

You can blend regular oats in a blender to turn them into instant oats.

[@nadurkee46]

Quick/instant, more or less the same. Just break the large flakes down and they become quick cooking.
