Lace Cookies with Milk Chocolate Drizzle

dsc03905

Hello everyone!  Are you having a good week so far?  I am!  We have had the most amazing weather this week.  I’ve finally been able to take my kids to the park everyday and I can’t believe what a difference a bit of warm weather makes on the mood of the house.  Everyone has been so happy and cheerful and it’s been heaven!!  It’s been like night and day.  Winter weather in Utah can be such a challenging thing when you have kids who love to be outside.  They tend to get a bit grouchy and the tempers flair until it seems unbearable.  So I’m crossing my fingers that the worst is over and mostly sunshine is in the future.  

So let me tell you about these cookies.  These are so delicious.  Different than anything you’ve probably had unless you are no stranger to Lace Cookies.  They are thin as paper and so buttery, crisp and chewy and they taste amazing.  The drizzle of milk chocolate makes the perfect touch and you will find yourself eating way more than you ever anticipated.   So if you have no self control (like me) than you probably don’t want to attempt these, but if you are the person who can eat 2 and give the rest away, than go for it! You’ll be glad you did!  These are also so simple to make, you only need one bowl and you don’t even have to use your mixer. The trick is to use parchment paper (or you will never be able to scrape them off your pan) and only cook 4-6 at a time because they spread like crazy. Good luck and have a great week everyone!
