Ingredients
- 4 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ¼ ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ ¼ cup light corn syrup
- 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ ⅔ cup finely chopped almonds¹
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine butter, sugars, and corn syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring contantly, until sugar has melted and mixture just begins to boil.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, flour, and finely chopped almonds, stirring until completely combined.
- Allow to cool for five minutes, then drop by 1 ½ teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least several inches apart (cookies will spread quite a bit in the oven, so give them some space!).
- Bake on 350F for 9 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. You can usually tell the cookies are finished baking when they stop bubbling and are a light golden brown in color. Keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet. They won't be crisp until cooled.
- Keep in mind that the lace cookie batter/dough will thicken as it cools, that is completely fine and won’t affect the outcome of the cookies.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- ¹I usually will measure out the almonds and then pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
- I've successfully made these lace cookies nut-free by substituting ⅔ cup of whole oats (I do not put them in the food processor) for the almonds.
