Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Granulated Sugar
- 80 grams Unsalted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
- 3 tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
- 60 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 60 grams Ground Almonds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, orange zest, heavy cream, and light corn syrup over medium heat.
Stir the mixture constantly until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Add the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan, stirring until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Using a teaspoon, drop small dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and lacy.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
