Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, coconut, melted butter, flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Using a 1/2-ounce cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop 6 balls of dough, 3 to 4 inches apart, on each baking sheet. Lightly flatten the tops of the dough. Cook until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the parchment paper, about 15 minutes.
- Place the chocolate in a bowl and place over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Using a fork, drizzle the tops of the cookies with the melted chocolate. Freeze the cookies until the chocolate has set, about 5 minutes. Remove the cookies from the freezer and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Cook's Note: If the cookies have baked into one another, use a knife or metal spatula to separate the cookies then allow to cool.
CHOCOLATE LACE SANDWICH COOKIES
This is a delicious sandwich cookie. My mom's recipe originally called for a layer of semisweet chocolate in between 2 lace cookies, but I decided to try Nutella® instead and love the result! Store in an airtight container so cookies stay crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or aluminum foil, shiny side down.
- Beat melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir oats, pecans, and baking powder into the batter.
- Drop batter onto the prepared sheets, 1 teaspoon at a time, spaced 3 inches apart; batter will spread out very thinly while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven, watching very carefully, until edges just start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Keep cookies on the baking sheets; they will finish baking as they cool and harden. Cool completely before removing from the baking sheets, at least 10 minutes.
- Choose 2 cookies that are the same size. Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread very thinly on 1 cookie and sandwich the other on top. Continue until all the cookies are paired and filled.

These delicate, crisp cookies bake and freeze well for up to 2 months. Two tips: the cookies tend to stick and spread, so be sure to use a nonstick baking sheet liner or parchment and don't bake more than 12 cookies at a time.

BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE DISKS WITH SEEDS AND FRUITS
This recipe makes a unique and very pretty sweet something to gift to your neighbours or work mates during the holiday season, but can also be part of a larger gift basket. Or maybe youre looking for something unique and home-made to show your sweetheart how much you love him/her. These pretty and very professional looking chocolates are sure to please whomever you decide to give them to. :) Vary the toppings to make these fit every season of the year. I would recommend packing the hardened disks in a foil-lined small box and tying it with a pretty ribbon. Apply a cute gift-tag and youre all set. Please note that the cooling time of 2 hours is not included in the cook time.

Steps:
- Melt both chocolates in one bowl over a hot-water bath (I boil water in a kettle, pour it into a small sauce pan, let it cool for 1 1/2 minute and then add the bowl with the chocolate inside. Stir with a spoon to speed up melting. This will take about 5 minutes.) or using the microwave.
- Stir in all of the spices (you might want to adjust them to your personal preference) until well distributed.
- For each chocolate disk drop 1 tbs of the melted chocolate mixture onto a paper-lined baking sheet. Using a spatula (or the back of a spoon) pat the mixture into a disk-shape. You should not make them too thin as they might not carry the topping then.
- Sprinkle with dried cranberry pieces, poppy seeds and sunflower seed kernels as well as the crushed vanilla baking chips. It is up to you how much topping you place on your disks, but I think you wont be able to fit more than what I have written above as a guideline.
- VARIATION: Do not crush the vanilla baking chips, but instead melt them with ¾ ts of cream. Dot the dark chocolate disks with this mixture and use a toothpick to swirl the two together. Now you can apply the above toppings or opt for some coloured sprinkles.
- Set your baking sheet aside and allow the chocolate disks to harden. This will take approximately 2-3 hrs(Do not place in the fridge as this will cause chocolate to turn whiteish).

Steps:
- Line three cookie sheets with waxed paper. Trace one 8-inch round on each, using cake pan bottom as aid. Invert paper. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove pan from heat. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons chocolate into center of each of 2 traced circles. Spread with spatula to fill circles completely. Spoon remaining chocolate into parchment cone or small pastry bag fitted with fine round tip. Pipe chocolate around traced border of third circle. Pipe chocolate inside circle in thick lacy design, making certain design touches border. Fill in three areas of design with chocolate, if desired. Pipe more chocolate atop pattern to form double thick lace. Freeze disks and lace until firm, about 1 hour (chocolate may curl slightly). (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tightly.)
- Remove 1 chocolate disk from freezer and invert onto piece of waxed paper. Gently peel top paper off chocolate. Return disk to freezer. Repeat with second disk and chocolate lace. Freeze disks and lace until ready to use.
Tips:
- To make the chocolate disks, use a good quality chocolate that is at least 70% cacao. This will ensure that the disks are rich and flavorful.
- Make sure the chocolate is tempered before making the disks. This will help the chocolate to set properly and have a smooth, glossy finish.
- If you don't have a marble slab, you can use a metal baking sheet instead. Just make sure the sheet is cold before you pour the chocolate onto it.
- To make the chocolate lace, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. This will help you to create delicate, intricate designs.
- Make sure the chocolate is thin enough to spread easily, but not so thin that it breaks. You may need to adjust the amount of milk or cream you add to the chocolate depending on the type of chocolate you are using.
- Be patient when making the chocolate lace. It takes a little practice to get the hang of it, but it's worth it in the end.
Conclusion:
Chocolate disks and lace are a beautiful and delicious way to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. They are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate. With a little practice, you can easily make these decorations at home. So next time you're looking for a way to add a touch of elegance to your desserts, give chocolate disks and lace a try.
