It's time to think about holiday baking. Below is my very favorite cookies I learned to make in Sweden when I
was an exchange student. It is a delicate, crispy but crunchy cookie that is
worth the time to make. Many people prefer not to roll the cookies over
a round object, but leave them to cool flat.
ALMOND LACE COOKIES
2/3 cup blanched almonds, ground
½ cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour4
2 tablespoons milk
confectioners’ sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour large cookie sheet. Into a large skillet, measure all ingredients except confectioners’ sugar.
Cook over low heat, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is blended. Keeping mixture warm over very low heat, drop 4 heaping teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto cookie sheet. Bake 5 minutes or until golden.
Remove cookie sheet from oven and, with pancake turner, quickly remove cookies, one by one, and roll around handle of a wooden spoon, or drape over a rolling pin. (If cookies get too hard to roll, reheat in oven a minute to soften.)
Cool. Repeat until all batter is used, greasing and flouring cookie
sheet each time. Lightly dust cookies with confectioners’ sugar. Makes about 2 1/2/
dozen cookies.
NOTE: Mixture will be hard to handle on humid days.
