Irish Lace Cookies With Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups extra-coarse wholemeal flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup cacao nibs
- fresh cracked sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the flour, water and vanilla. Stir in the wholemeal flour.
- With a small cookie scoop, place a scant 1" ball of dough on a parchment-lined sheet pan, 3 inches apart. They will spread a lot. I fit 5 cookies on each sheet pan. I bake two pans at a time.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until they are just firm enough to be moved with a metal spatula. Remove pans from oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
- When they are still warm, but cool enough to handle, roll into cylinders using a dowel or the handle of a wooden spoon, or shape into a curved, clay roof-tile shape by just gently squeezing together the edges of the cookie. If the cookies harden up on the sheet pan, place back in the oven for 1 minute to soften.
- Transfer the cookies to racks and cool completely.
