Swedish Lace Cookies are a traditional Swedish cookie that is well-known for its thin, delicate, lacy appearance. They are made with oatmeal and rice flour and baked to perfection. These cookies are popular in Sweden and other Nordic countries and are typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. Today's recipe, however, is different in that it omits sugar with its substitute, Splenda. This gives the cookies fewer calories, making them healthier while retaining their delicious taste.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.In a large bowl, pour boiling water over the oats and stir to combine.
3.Add the rice flour, butter, and Splenda, mixing until well combined.
4.Stir in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the molasses (if using), vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt, stirring until the batter is smooth.
5.Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6.Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
7.Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
