What is a pistachio lace cookie?

Crispy thin cookie made with finely chopped nuts, butter and sugar.
As the cookie bakes it caramelizes creating that thin "Lacey" pattern.
Back is lightly coated with a thin layer of dark chocolate.
If you haven't had these you're missing out!

Used in this recipe:

Ingredients for this recipe:

3/4 cup Pistachios
3 Tablespoons Flour
6 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
8 ounces Dark Chocolate (I used Ghirardelli chocolate Chips)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350*F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place 3/4 cup of pistachios in a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely chopped then set aside.

3. In a small saucepan, melt 6 Tbsp butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp honey, and 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream for 5-8 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Take off heat.

4. Mix in 3 Tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and chopped pistachios. Allow batter to sit and thicken. (8-10 minutes)

5. Using a measuring teaspoon, scoop out caramel batter onto prepared baking sheets. Place 3 inches apart from each other. (the cookies will spread A LOT as they bake) Bake for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

6. Meanwhile, in a double boiler (or microwave) melt 8 oz dark chocolate.

7. Flip lace cookie over (flat side up) and spread a thin layer of dark chocolate. Place down (chocolate side up) to let chocolate cool, and seep through the holes. This gives it that beautiful elegant lace look!
