I wanted something a little different... so I tried a lace cookie
THE BACK STORY
If you're like me, you see the amazing bakers on TV make cookies you/I don't normally make at home. They go beyond the oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip. Sometimes they look good, but hard. That's the lace cookie for me. I see it and I wonder how they are made. If it is something that I could make and what they taste like. So, perusing my favorite recipe inspiration sites, I stumbled on the Easy Lace Cookies recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction.
THE BAKE
These cookies are a quick bake of just 8 minutes and are made with just 6 ingredients:
unsalted butter (it gets melted to create brown butter - yum!)
light or dark brown sugar (I used light brown sugar)
almond flour
salt
light or dark corn syrup (I used light corn syrup but you can also use milk)
pure vanilla extract
Looking at the image in the recipe you see that Sally made sandwich cookies with Nutella. I opted to dip them in melted 60% cacao chocolate and let them set instead.
THE RESULT
O-M-G! So good! I cannot believe how many years I've gone without these cookies in my life. These cookies are gluten-free and quick! You don't have to wait for butter to come to room temperature. As I watched them cool, I wondered if they would be hard. They were not. Crispy and almost melted in my mouth. I admit to almost having to re-melt the chocolate because I was distracted eating one.
