Finish Lace Cookies
Delicate, crisp, and irresistibly buttery, Finnish Lace Cookies are a classic treat that combines elegance and simplicity in every bite. These wafer-thin cookies are made with a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour, giving them a subtly nutty flavor and an ultra-light texture. A touch of vanilla extract and a hint of salt balance out the sweetness, while their unique lacy appearance makes them as stunning as they are delicious. Perfectly golden and slightly caramelized, these cookies bake in just 8 minutes and require minimal effort, making them a quick yet impressive choice for any occasion. Serve them as a tea-time snack, alongside a scoop of ice cream, or enjoy them straight from the jar—they’ll stay crisp for up to a week in an airtight container!

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Butter
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 15 milliliters Light corn syrup
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Almond flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 milliliters Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar and light corn syrup until combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick and glossy.
Using a teaspoon, scoop small amounts of batter (about 1/2 teaspoon) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 7-8 cm (3 inches) between each to allow for spreading.
Bake cookies for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and lacy in texture. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 2-3 minutes until they firm up slightly.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will harden as they cool, achieving their delicate, crispy texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your Finnish Lace Cookies!
