Crisp, delicate, and irresistibly nutty, Dutch Kletskopjes Lacy Almond Cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. These traditional Dutch lace cookies are made with finely chopped almonds, warm cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla, giving each bite a rich, aromatic flavor profile. As they bake, the thin batter caramelizes into golden, lacy perfection, creating a wonderfully crunchy texture. With a quick preparation time of just 15 minutes and a beautifully elegant appearance, these cookies make an impressive addition to your dessert table or a delightful companion to a cup of coffee or tea. Plus, their simple ingredients and melt-in-your-mouth charm make them an easy yet sophisticated treat to share with friends and family.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Stir in the melted butter, water, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the finely chopped sliced almonds until evenly incorporated.
Using a teaspoon, scoop small amounts of batter (about the size of a hazelnut) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2–3 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the baking sheets are cool before adding new scoops of batter.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy their delightful crisp and nutty flavor with your favorite beverage!
