Description:
Indulge in the delightful flavors of Brandy Lace Cookies, a perfect treat for any occasion. These delicate cookies, with their lace-like texture and hint of brandy, are sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1/4 cup Karo light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- White chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Cookie Sheets: Lightly grease and flour your cookie sheets, ensuring easy removal of the cookies later.
-
Prepare Batter: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, margarine, and Karo light corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour, chopped pecans, and brandy until well combined.
-
Drop Batter: Drop 12 evenly spaced half teaspoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheets. Ensure there is enough space between each to allow for spreading.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 6 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool for 1 to 2 minutes until they are still warm and pliable but can be lifted easily with a spatula.
-
Shape Cookies: Carefully curl each warm cookie around the handle of a wooden spoon to achieve the lace-like shape. Slide the cookies off the spoon once they are crisp. If the cookies harden before curling, simply return them to the oven briefly to soften.
-
Optional Drizzle: For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate.
-
Serve: Serve these delightful Brandy Lace Cookies as a sweet treat with tea or coffee, or package them beautifully to gift to loved ones during the holiday season.
Enjoy the delicate texture and rich flavors of these Brandy Lace Cookies, perfect for sharing with family and friends or for indulging in a moment of sweet bliss all to yourself!
