On The Menu: Almond-Oat Lace Cookies

Yum.
Yum.
And yum again.

I found the recipe for these cookies in Bon Appetit magazine. And they rock.
If you're looking for a "different" kind of cookie to wow people with - this is it!

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds with skins (unsalted)
  • 2 tbsp old-fashioned oats
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (3/4 stick)
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper
  • Pulse almonds and oats in a food processor until a coarse meal forms, set aside
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat
  • Add both sugars and honey and whisk until blended (1-2 minutes), and then remove from heat
  • Add nut mixture, flour, and salt, and stir until well blended
  • Spoon batter by 1-tsp portions onto baking sheet, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart
  • Using your fingertips, pat cookies down to 1/4 inches high and push in any jagged edges to form smooth circles
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes
  • Slide the parchment onto a wire rack and let cool
  • Using a pastry brush, brush half of each cookie with melted chocolate
