These delicate cookies are our family's favourite. They don't get too hard and have a pleasant crunchy and light texture. They also take no time at all to prepare! Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped almonds |
1/4 cup butter |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tbsp. heavy cream |
1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract |
3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 tbsp. shortening |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease 2 baking sheets, or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Boil the chopped almonds for 2 min. in just enough water to cover them. Drain and use a food processor to chop finely.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract and chopped almonds.
4. Drop teaspoonfuls 2 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
5. Bake until golden rims form, about 5 min.
6. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with 1 tbsp. shortening in a microwave, about 1 min (use a microwave-safe bowl). Stir to make a smooth chocolate sauce.
7. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the lace cookies.
8. Remove the cookies with a spatula onto a lg. plate and allow to cool until the chocolate sauce has hardened.
