Ingredients
- ¼ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ¼ cup salted butter
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- 1 TB Cointreau
- ½ tsp orange extract
- ½ cup + 2TB all-purpose flour
- 1 TB orange zest finely chopped
- 4-6 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, and place rack on the lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small, heavy saucepan over low heat, add the sugar, butter, corn syrup, Cointreau, and orange extract. Cook until the butter melts, stirring frequently. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the flour and orange zest. Stir again until the ingredients are well-combined
- Drop heaping teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets leaving 2 ½ inches between each cookie.
- Bake 11-13 minutes or until the cookies have spread out, bubble up, and become golden brown. Be careful not to burn!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Continue baking in batches, if needed, until all the batter has been used.
- Once all of the cookies have cooled, add the chocolate morsels to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Drizzle the chocolate onto the cookies, and cool completely.

Notes
- If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating! ♡
- Cointreau provides a fragrant depth of flavor to these cookies and is highly recommended; the alcohol cooks off and evaporates during baking, leaving just the orange essence. If needed, you can replace it with any other orange liqueur. Alternatively, you can sub with 1 tsp additional orange extract + 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- For easy drizzling, pour the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag, cut a tiny hole in the corner, and squeeze out the chocolate.
- If preferred, dip the lace cookies halfway into the melted chocolate instead of drizzling.
- To make cookie curls, cool cookies for 1-2 minutes or until they are easy to handle and pliable. Then, curl each cookie around the handle of a wooden spoon, sliding them off once cool and firm.
