Honey-Almond Lace Cookies
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- Combine the butter, honey, and brown sugar in a small saucepan, over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is bubbly and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the almonds, salt, and vanilla and cook 1 minute more.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour until smooth.
- Let cool slightly.
- Refrigerate until the batter sets up, at least 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange racks in upper and lower third.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 to 4 inches space between each.
- Put the sheets on the racks and bake until bubbly, brown on edges, and golden throughout, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet.
- Repeat until all of the batter is used.
- When cookies are cool, melt the chocolate over medium-low heat, in a small saucepan, until smooth.
- Dip half of each cookie in the chocolate, scrape off excess, and set on a cooling rack to dry.
- Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to set up.
