Grandma's Oatmeal Coconut Lace Cookies are perfectly buttery and crisp. A simple recipe that comes together quickly, which is good, because these are addictive and will disappear in a flash.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fill a pot with water and set on stovetop to boil for later use.
Mix first five ingredients together. Work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Using the boiling water, dissolve 1 tsp of baking soda. Pour the soda water over the cookie dough and mix together until a ball starts to form.
Take small scoops of dough about the size of a walnut and roll into a ball. Space the cookies about 2" apart on a cookie sheet. Bake no more than a dozen or less on a pan at one time.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies are golden brown.
