Denise Pierce's Macadamia Lace Cookies image

The combination of rich macadamia nuts and browned butter gives these pretty, delicate cookeis an intense flavour. This came from the Fine Cooking Baking issue.

Time 33m

Yield 52 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
4 1/2 ounces finely chopped lightly salted macadamia nuts (1 cup)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used the extract)
1/2 teaspoon table salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350-degrees.
  • Line two or three large baking sheets with nonstick baking liners or parchment.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and then continue cooking it just until the butter solids at the bottom of the pan turn deep golden brown (NOT black), 5-7 minutes- watch the butter carefully.
  • Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a small bowl, scraping the pan to get all the butter.
  • Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the chopped nuts, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Stir until blended.
  • Slowly add the browned butter and continue stirring until blended.
  • Drop the batter by slightly heaping teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden brown, 6-8 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on the sheets on racks for 5 minutes before transferring them to racks to cool completely.
  • Repeat with remaining batter after sheets have cooled.
  • Store at room temp or freeze in an airtight container, separating the cookie layers with waxed paper.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. I love the way the macadamia nuts add a little crunch.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out burnt. I guess I'll have to try again!

I've never made lace cookies before, but these were surprisingly easy to make. I'm definitely going to try other lace cookie recipes now.

I'm allergic to macadamia nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too difficult to make. The dough was very sticky and hard to handle.

I'm not a huge fan of macadamia nuts, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The lacey texture is beautiful and the flavor is delicate and not too sweet.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're so delicate and flavorful, with the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
