Dress up those fancy deserts with these fancy lacy cookies.. serve with Ice Cream to make a Beautiful presentation. Ingredients:
8 1/2 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter |
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces) sugar |
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (4 1/2 ounces)all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup (4 ounces) light corn syrup |
1 1/2 cups (4 1/2 ounces) sliced blanched almonds |
Directions:
1. 1. In the bowl of an electric mixer on low speed, cream together butter and sugar until creamy, light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and corn syrup. Mix until well blended. Then add almonds and mix just until they are integrated into dough.
2. 2. Place dough (in bowl) in refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes. Divide chilled dough into 3 equal pieces and roll each one into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Freeze logs for at least 10 minutes and for up to a month.
3. 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove 1 log at a time from the freezer and slice penny-thin, using a sharp knife. (If logs are frozen solid, you may need to let them rest a few minutes at room temperature before slicing.) Place cookies 3 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats - cookies will spread as they bake. Bake until golden brown and lacy, 15 to 18 minutes.
4. 4. Place pan on wire rack to cool. While they are warm, the cookies are thin and pliable enough to be gently molded into cylinders or cups by draping them over a wooden spoon handle or small bowl. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
