Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional, like almonds or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once fully melted.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract to the melted butter, and stir until smooth and completely combined.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the mixture. Stir until there are no lumps, forming a smooth batter.
Step 5
If using finely chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter to distribute them evenly.
Step 6
Drop small teaspoon-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2-3 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread significantly during baking.
Step 7
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown with lacy edges.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes to firm up slightly.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack using a thin spatula and let them cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your delicate lace cookies with a cup of tea or as a delightful dessert topping!
