Equipment
Baking sheets
Ingredients
½cupunsalted butter
¾cupalmond flour
⅔cupbrown sugar
1tbspcorn syrup***You can use 1 tbsp milk instead but the lace cookies won't be as crisp
¼tspsalt
1tspvanilla extract
½cupdark chocolate melting wafers
¼tspcoconut oil
Instructions
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the almond flour, sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
Cook and whisk for 3 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are completely combined. The mixture will be grainy and shiny.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to sit and thicken for about 10 minutes as the oven preheats. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop a teaspoon of cookie mixture at least 3-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd the pan or they will bleed together when baking.
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and the centers are bubbling.
Allow the cookies to cool for a full 5 minutes before moving them to finish cooling on a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp as they cool. Side Note: For easier clean-up, re-use the parchment paper under the wire racks of cooled cookies before drizzling the chocolate on top.
Place the dark chocolate melting wafers and 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil in a glass bowl then put it into the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. If needed, continue cooking for 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate!
Spoon melted chocolate in a zip lock bag and do a very small snip in the bottom corner of the bag.
Drizzle some dark chocolate back and forth on top of each lace cookie. Store cookies in layers of parchment paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
