Lace Cookies

• 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats (not instant)
• 1/3 cup (generous 2 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon dark rum
• 2 ounces 82% extra dark chocolate, melted and still warm

1. Position the racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 375F.

6. Stir until smooth.
7. Slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
8. Drop about 3/4 of a teaspoon of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets.
9. Make the cookies as close in size as possible.
10. Place only 12 cookies on each baking sheet (four rows of three), as they will spread considerably.
11. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating once halfway through baking.
12. Remove from the oven and let stand on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes.
