Oatmeal Lace Cookies

1. 1

   Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Melt the butter with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the sugar is almost dissolved, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the oats, flour, vanilla and salt.

4. 4

   Let cool 10 minutes, then stir in the egg white.

5. 5

   Drop 6 rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, about 3 1/2 inches apart.

6. 6

   Spread each mound into a 3-inch circle.

7. 7

   Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Let cool on the baking sheets until firm, about 3 minutes, then carefully remove using a thin metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

9. 9

   Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted.

10. 10

    Drizzle on the cookies and let set, about 30 minutes.
