LACE COOKIES

Makes: about 25 cookies
​Takes: under an hour

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup almonds, chopped finely
• 1 1/2 teaspoons heavy cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop nuts finely in a food processor – there should be no large chunks leftover.
2. Bring butter, brown sugar and corn syrup to boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and beat in vanilla, salt, flour, nuts and cream until well combined.
3. Put mixture into a food processor and process for 30 seconds to one minute until smooth. 
4. Form teaspoons of dough into balls and place only five onto a sheet at a time, with at least a few inches between. They spread way more than you think. Bake until golden brown and not bubbling, about 6 to 7 minutes. 
5. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for at least 2 minutes before transferring (carefully) to a wire rack.
