Irish Lace Cookies are a traditional Irish dessert that are delicate and lacy in texture, with a soft, chewy center and crisp edges. They are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients, and they are perfect for serving with tea or coffee as a sweet treat. These cookies get their name from the intricate, lacy pattern that forms when the dough spreads out during baking. They are a lovely addition to any tea party, holiday gathering, or special occasion, and are sure to impress your guests with their delicate beauty and delicious flavor.

3.	Beat in the heavy cream, corn syrup, and vanilla extract.
4.	Mix in the oatmeal, flour, and salt to form the cookie dough.
5.	Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
6.	Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
7.	Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While not the healthiest food, these cookies contain oatmeal, which is a good source of fiber and can help lower cholesterol levels.
Brown sugar contains molasses, which is rich in minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium.
However, these benefits are offset by the high fat and sugar content of the cookies.
