These crisp wafer cookies are simply irresistible.

About 30 cookies | Active Time: 45 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup chopped dried tart cherries

Preparation

1. Set oven rack in the center; preheat to 400°F. Lightly oil 3 baking sheets or coat with nonstick cooking spray, and dust them with flour, shaking off excess.
2. Combine oats, corn syrup and oil in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until it begins to turn a light, nutty brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the butter.) Pour into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
3. Beat egg and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes. Blend in vanilla.
4. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; fold into the egg mixture. Add the oat mixture and dried cherries; stir gently to combine.
5. Spoon the batter by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, for about 4 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and lacy. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then carefully remove cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a flat surface (not a rack).
