Oatmeal lace cookies are thin, crisp, caramel-flavored cookies that look elegant yet take almost no effort to make. They spread into beautiful golden rounds with a delicate lacy pattern and a buttery flavor that makes them perfect for gifting or pairing with a cup of coffee.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the butter, white and brown sugar, honey, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, stirring now and then, until the butter melts. Let the mixture come to a boil, then take it off the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the flour and ground oats and mix until smooth. The batter will be very runny. Transfer it to a clean bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes so it cools slightly and thickens.
Scoop 16 to 18 portions, about 2 teaspoons each, onto the prepared sheets. Leave plenty of space for spreading, since these cookies like to stretch their legs.
Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through if your oven runs hot in spots, until the cookies have spread, stopped bubbling, and turned golden at the edges.
Take the cookies out of the oven. If you want them perfectly round, use a large round cookie cutter to gently nudge the edges into shape.
Slide the parchment onto a countertop and let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes.
Peel them off the paper and move them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
