Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 35 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light corn syrup until fully combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Using a teaspoon, drop small dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each dollop as the cookies will spread significantly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have spread into delicate lace patterns. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Allow the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheets, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or dip them in the melted chocolate as desired and place them on parchment paper to set.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
