Instructions:

Praline Lace Cookies

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup (175 mL) corn syrup
3/4 cup (175 mL) unsalted butter
1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons (75 g) ground almonds
2 tablespoons (30 mL) triple sec liqueur

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (189 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.

Place brown sugar, corn syrup and unsalted butter in a medium size saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by 1/2 teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets leaving at least 2 inches around each cookie as the batter spreads very thin, cooks and then forms a lacy design. Bake for 6 minutes or until slightly hardened. Remove carefully from pan with spatula.

Yield: Approximately 6 dozen cookies
