Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup finely chopped almonds¹
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine butter, sugars, and corn syrup.
- 3
Cook over medium heat, stirring contantly, until sugar has melted and mixture just begins to boil.
- 4
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, flour, and finely chopped almonds, stirring until completely combined.
- 5
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!).
- 6
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.
- 7
Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet. They won't be crisp until cooled.
- 8
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.
