Lace Cookies - [Trader Joe's Copycat]
(recipe courtesy: myjerusalemkitchen.com)

/></p> <p><strong><em>These are so light and crisp that they just melt in your mouth.</em></strong><br/> <strong><em>They are a lovely combination of chocolate, almond and orange.</em></strong><br/> <br/> <br/> 1/2 c brown sugar<br/> 2 tbsp butter<br/> 1 tsp vanilla extract<br/> 2 tbsp milk<br/> 1/4 c honey<br/> 1/3 c all-purpose flour<br/> 1/2 c almonds; coarsely ground<br/> 1/2 tsp cinnamon<br/> 1 heaping tsp orange; zested<br/> 1/2 c dark chocolate (for dipping)<br/> <br/> Preheat your oven to 350 F<br/> <br/> Line two baking trays with parchment paper; set aside. Bring the butter, sugar, milk, vanilla, and honey to a boil, stirring continuously. Once it reaches a rolling boil, wait one minute and then remove from the heat. Now, grab a bowl and mix the flour, almonds, cinnamon and orange zest together, slowly adding them to the wet mixture and making sure everything is incorporated well. Let sit for about 20 minutes.<br/> <br/> Drop teaspoon-sized balls onto your parchment paper, leaving about three inches space between each of the cookies because they will spread a lot<br/> <br/> Bake for 8 to 10. If you want them more like toffee brittle leave them in on the longer end. Once the centers are bubbling and they are a golden-brown color, remove them from the oven. Immediately remove the parchment paper from the tray and let them cool on the counter. After about three-five more minutes, you’ll be able to remove them from the parchment paper without a problem. Any sooner and they’ll still be soft and likely tear.<br/> <br/> Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Once melted either dip or drizzle onto the top of cookies. Enjoy!</p>
