Lacy Oatmeal Cookies are crispy and chewy at the same time. They turn out thin so they are almost see-through like lace. This version also has coconut which adds to the nutty, buttery flavor.

Notes
A whisk may be used in place of a flour sifter to sift dry ingredients.
Cookies should be removed from the cookie sheet and onto a cooling rack immediately to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
To attain the correct texture, flatten cookies with a knife that has been dipped in cold water before baking.
To be sure that butter is at room temperature, set it out an hour before you plan to make the recipe.
