I don't think she means pizzelle.

Adding: Italian wedding cookies are very similar to Mexican wedding cakes, and some people flatten them rather than keeping them in the ball shape. However, they are not lacy.

Could this be what she is looking for? I happened to have this recipe in my files. To be honest, I can't remember if I have made these, but I think I have. I vaguely remember making a lacy cookie, and this must have been it.

Irish Lace Cookies

The texture of these elegant cookies may remind you of fine Irish lace.

1 cup unsalted butter

2 cups firmly packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons vanilla

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup milk

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 baking sheets.

2. Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla; stir in flour, milk and rolled oats.

3. Drop batter by the tablespoon onto prepared baking sheets; allow room for cookies to spread about 3 inches in diameter. Each baking sheet will hold about 6 cookies.

4. Bake 10 minutes or until cookies flatten and look dry. Cool for 4-5 minutes on baking sheets. Lift from baking sheet with a metal spatula and cool completely. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Morgantown, don't know I'd this is what the OP is looking for, but I adore oatmeal cookies, and this looks like a delicious, easy recipe. In our part of Florida, we are having a taste of fall: tonight it's getting into the upper 50s....I sure could go for some warm cookies with a nice cup of hot tea! Poodlepet

I don't know what a Fresh Market is down here in Tx. but, they have one in Ind.

Now, I'm confused and hungry.

At first I thought of this standard, Italian, ricotta cookie, but then the "lacy" description threw me off. Then I started thinking about Pizzelles and I got hungry. My children, especially my oldest, ADORES pizzelles. Even the traditional anise flavor, which is sometimes an acquired taste for many kids. I don't have a pizzelle iron, but I'm thinking about getting one.

These look like what I have been looking for. I plan on making these soon.

I'm thinking about getting a Pizelle iron to make home made ice cream cones....I am totally thrown off by the OP's description-but it was other posters who thought she was describing a pizelle....but pizelle are not what I would describe as flaky..... Poodlepet

Pizzelle are traditional Italian waffle cookies made from flour, eggs, sugar, butter or vegetable oil, and flavoring. Pizzelle can be hard and crisp or soft and chewy depending on the ingredients and method of preparation. The op did say italian lace cookie, look on the reverse of your waffle iron. Mine has a pizzelle pattern. We always dusted with powder sugar.

I love Pizzelle cookies...my neighbor made these cookies every year but hers had a distinctive 'anise' flavor to them. Sadly she moved away and I have not had them since.
