Description
Lace Cookies with Chocolate are crisp, buttery, and delicately caramelized cookies with a signature lacy texture. Finished with a smooth chocolate coating, they’re elegant enough for special occasions and simple enough to make anytime.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in flour, salt, and chopped almonds until well combined.
4. Drop teaspoon-sized portions of batter onto baking sheets, spacing at least 3 inches apart.
5. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, watching closely after 5 minutes. Cookies should be golden and bubbling.
6. Cool on baking sheet for 5–7 minutes, then transfer carefully to a cooling rack.
7. Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each.
8. Flip cooled cookies and dip or spread chocolate on the bottom side. Let chocolate set completely.
9. Store in airtight containers between parchment layers to keep crisp.
Notes
These cookies are fragile, so handle gently. You can substitute nuts and chocolate types as desired. Keep them crisp by storing in a dry, airtight container.
