Lace Cookies Caramel Almond (Printer-Friendly)

Thin, crisp lacy cookies bring buttery caramel and almond flavor to any dessert tray or afternoon tea.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cookie Batter

01 - 115 grams unsalted butter
02 - 200 grams light brown sugar, packed
03 - 16 grams all-purpose flour
04 - 1.5 grams salt
05 - 30 millilitres milk
06 - 2.5 millilitres vanilla extract
07 - 100 grams finely chopped sliced almonds

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and line baking trays with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Stir continuously until both are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk in all-purpose flour, salt, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth.
04 - Fold in the finely chopped sliced almonds, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
05 - Drop small teaspoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking trays, ensuring ample space between each as they will spread during baking.
06 - Bake in the centre of the oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and lacy at the edges.
07 - Remove trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the parchment, letting them crisp as they cool before transferring.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Evenly space portions on the tray, as the batter will spread thinly during baking for a lacy, crisp texture.
02 - Watch closely in the final minutes of baking, as cookies can burn quickly once they turn golden.
03 - Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers to maintain crispness.
