Expert Tip: Use old fashioned oats instead of quick cooking oats for thin and lacy cookies. You could also put some curls of orange zest as topping on your cookies or you could add some coconut, cinnamon or walnuts to the mix. Walnuts will add extra texture and cinnamon and coconut will give extra flavor to your cookies.
