Chocolate Lace Cookies
1/2 cup butter (1 cube), room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup almonds, blanched and finely chopped
1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate
Whipped cream for garnish.
In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in corn syrup and vanilla.
Sift flour with salt and baking powder. Add flour to creamed
mixture, alternating with milk, beating until smooth. Stir in
rolled oats and almonds.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a lightly-greased cookie
sheet. (Space 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.)
Bake at 325 degrees, 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are well
browned and cookies are bubbling.
Let cool slightly. Remove from pan to racks to cool completely.
In a microwave oven or in a double boiler over hot water, melt
chocolate.
Spread the melted chocolate on the bottoms of the cookies, or
dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate. Place cookies on
waxed paper.
YIELD: 4 DOZEN
