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. Â 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!
Lace Cookies with Milk Chocolate Drizzle
makes 3 dozen
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup oats, roughly chopped
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Using a measuring teaspoon, drop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (very important) 4-6 at a time (depending on the size of your baking sheet) and bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and transfer to wire racks. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies and enjoy!!!
Amen on the winters here in Utah! I’ve also been enjoying the warmer weather here lately. My little boy cries every time we have to go back inside. Your cookies look wonderful! I’ve never made lace cookies, but I’ve always been intrigued by them. I’ll have to try these out.
I am loving the change in weather too! It is insane how Utah weather changes from valley to valley! These cookies look like a toast to better weather days! Yum-E!
I adore lace cookies! You don’t seem them around nearly often enough. I’m so glad you posted about them. And your cookies look absolutely fabulous!! (P.S. so glad that weather is turning “nice” and your kids are getting to the park. What a glorious time of year spring is!)
Lace cookies are so incredible and your extra special chocolate drizzle on top just makes them all the better!!
I’ll have to try your recipe sometime. I love lace cookies but the last recipe I tried just wasn’t good!
My Grandma always made lace cookies. They are so good and like you said, different from your everyday cookie.
Oh, these look so gorgeous. I bet they are just delicious. Perfect with a glass of milk or cup of hot tea!
These cookies look so delicious!!
Oh my, they are beautiful!
Yeah for spring!
Yum to these cookies!
I love lace cookies! Yours turned out so pretty, too. Winter here has been more miserable than usual, so I’m with you – hoping spring is really here!
I’m new to your blog and I just wanted to say it’s gorgeous and these cookies look fabulous!
YUMMMMMMMMMMMY, these look so good. I want like 12 right now please, lol.
I’ve been out taking walks all week – I’m sad it’s going to cool off this next week! These cookies look great – I just may have to make some today because I’m craving something sweet and have all the ingredients on hand!
I haven’t felt like baking lately, but when I do get back to baking I am for sure making these, they look SO GOOD! And here’s a tip-try making them on a Silpat baking sheet, nothing sticks to those things!
I have not been in the baking mood lately, but when I get back to it I am for sure making these. And here’s a tip-try making them on a Silpat baking sheet-nothing sticks to them!
I love the look of these, so elegant yet would be perfect for a casual afternoon snack.
Love the look!
Just stumbled onto your site. The images are beautiful. And these cookies sound delish.
