Lace cookies, also known as egg white cookies, are a delightful treat that combines crispy edges with a delicate, lace-like center. These cookies are not only visually appealing but also incredibly flavorful, with a sweet and nutty taste that melts in your mouth. This article provides three variations of lace cookies: Classic Lace Cookies, Chocolate Lace Cookies, and Matcha Lace Cookies. Each recipe offers a unique twist on the classic, catering to different taste preferences.

In the Classic Lace Cookies recipe, egg whites are whipped until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy meringue. The addition of sugar and cornstarch provides sweetness and structure, while vanilla extract adds a touch of warmth. Once baked, these cookies become crisp on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside.

The Chocolate Lace Cookies introduce a rich and decadent flavor to the classic recipe. Cocoa powder is added to the meringue, resulting in a deep chocolatey taste. The cookies are then sprinkled with chopped nuts, adding texture and a delightful crunch.

The Matcha Lace Cookies offer a unique and refreshing twist. Matcha powder, made from finely ground green tea leaves, imparts a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter, earthy flavor to the cookies. These cookies are perfect for those who enjoy a more sophisticated and complex flavor profile.

These three lace cookie recipes are a wonderful addition to any cookie platter or dessert table. Their delicate texture, beautiful appearance, and delicious flavors are sure to impress your friends and family.

Time 2h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups whole raw almonds
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Place almonds into the bowl of a food processor; alternate pulsing and running at full speed every few seconds until finely chopped and crumblike. Be careful not to go too far; you don't want them too fine and pasty.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir a few times and cook until melted and dissolved. Bring to a boil, then carefully remove from the heat.
  • Add vanilla extract, salt, and flour, and whisk until smooth. Add chopped almonds and mix with a spatula until everything is combined.
  • Drop eight uniformly sized, rounded spoonfuls of batter (each about 2 teaspoons, or 15 grams) onto the prepared sheet. Fine-tune the cookie shapes and make sure they are evenly spaced.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and a bit darker around the outsides, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and slide the silicone liner off the baking sheet and directly onto the countertop. Allow to sit until cool and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then gently peel cookies off the liner. Repeat to bake remaining batches.
  • Spread melted chocolate over the flat side of one cookie. Place a second cookie, flat-side down, on top to make a sandwich and press very gently to seal. Repeat to form remaining cookies. Let sit until chocolate has firmed up, about 30 minutes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon beaten egg white
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the sugar is almost dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the oats, flour, vanilla and salt. Let cool 10 minutes, then stir in the egg white.
  • Drop 6 rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, about 3 1/2 inches apart. Spread each mound into a 3-inch circle. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until firm, about 3 minutes, then carefully remove using a thin metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle on the cookies and let set, about 30 minutes.
