How to cook deliciously - Lace Cookies
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and milk. Cook and stir over medium heat for three to four minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in the pecans, flour and vanilla just until they are incorporated. Editor's Tip: Don't overmix your lace cookie dough. Doing so will overwork the gluten and lead to lace cookies that are a little less delicate.
2. Stage
Drop the dough by 1/2 teaspoonfuls, 3 inches apart, onto foil-lined baking sheets. Editor's Tip: The dough is sticky, so spray your spoon with a small amount of cooking spray to help transfer the dough neatly onto your lined sheet pans.
3. Stage
Bake for five to seven minutes or until golden brown and lacy. Cool completely before carefully removing from the foil-lined pans. Editor's Tip: Lace Cookies bake fast, so don't walk away. Depending on the accuracy of your oven's temperature (try investing in a cheap oven thermometer), it may take a little finesse to find the perfect cooking time. Watch your first batch closely, and pull the cookies out when they get that perfect lacy texture and golden brown hue.
4. Stage
While the cookies cool, add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each round until smooth. Spread 1 teaspoon melted chocolate on half the cookies. Then, cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set. Once set, store between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature.
