Not your everyday lunch-box cookies, these rich but fragile wafers are
worthy of an elegant afternoon tea. The lacy cookies can also be
formed into tuiles--curved shapes so named because they resemble
French roof tiles. To make tuiles, lay the still-warm cookies over a
slender rolling pin to shape them. Remove the cookies from the  rolling
pin as soon as they are cool and firm. We managed a major  makeover of
this delicious cookie by:  replacing the 6 tablespoons of butter and 3
tablespoons of shortening  with 2 tablespoons of reduced-calorie
margarine * replacing 1 cup of  almonds with 2 tablespoons of pecans *
using only 1 ounce of  chocolate instead of 8 ounces Before After

(mg.) 8 0  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 large baking sheets
with  nonstick spray; set aside. Place the pecans in a jelly-roll pan
and  toast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a
cutting board and chop finely; set aside. In a large bowl, combine  the
oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar and flour, and stir well. Add  the
margarine, oil, egg whites, water, vanilla and chopped pecans,  and
stir to combine. For each cookie, spoon 2 level teaspoons of the
batter onto one of the prepared baking sheets and smooth it into a 2
1/2-inch circle. Leaving 1 1/2 inches between cookies, repeat to make
18 cookies (9 per sheet). Place both baking sheets in the oven and
bake for 7 minutes (switching the sheets halfway through baking), or
until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned.  Let the cookies
stand for about 2 minutes before removing them to wire  racks to cool
completely. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying  the baking
sheets again, if necessary. When the cookies have cooled  completely,
transfer them back to the baking sheets, working in  batches if
necessary. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate over  low heat.
Place the melted  continued in part 2

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
