Ree's Brown Sugar Oatmeal Lace Cookies

I found a recipe for fluffy caramelized brown sugar oatmeal cookies on The Pioneer Woman's site TastyKitchen the other day and knew I wanted to try them right away.  For whatever reason, Ree's cookies were fluffy, but the two batches I made both turned out very flat and "lace-like".  I don't know if there was an error in the recipes or what, but we ended up loving the flat version so I renamed them Brown Sugar Oatmeal Lace Cookies.  They're so very good - super thin, very chewy, and extremely delicious.  My husband loved them, my nieces loved them, my in-laws loved them, and if you give them a try I think you'll love them too.  

Delish!
