NOTES : Make It Your Way
This variation was the result of the unexpected results we saw
during recipe testing. We ended up liking our “mistake” so much,
we decided to stick with it and offer it as a recipe variation! To
make Hazelnut-Oatmeal Lacies, substitute 1/2 cup hazelnut-flavored
instant coffee (dry) for the cocoa. Unlike the original recipe
above, these cookies will be very flat, but still very chewy!
“I Don’t Have That”
Sometimes we run out of such staples as milk. The same amount of
melted vanilla ice cream or even yogurt will work as a substitute
or, in a pinch, just use water.
