Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon beaten egg white
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the sugar is almost dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the oats, flour, vanilla and salt. Let cool 10 minutes, then stir in the egg white.
  • Drop 6 rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, about 3 1/2 inches apart. Spread each mound into a 3-inch circle. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until firm, about 3 minutes, then carefully remove using a thin metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle on the cookies and let set, about 30 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Lace Cookies:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: Don't rush this step, as it helps to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and crisp.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add them one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Once the ingredients are combined, mix only until a dough forms.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes: This helps the dough to firm up and makes it easier to work with.
  • Use a cookie press to shape the cookies: This is the easiest way to get the perfect lace pattern.
  • Bake the cookies on parchment paper: This prevents them from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack: This helps them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Lace cookies are a delicate and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your taste. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
