How to Make Orange Almond Lace Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (120g) sliced almonds, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Stir in 1 large egg until just combined.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 3 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies are lacy and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them towards the end, as ovens vary.
  9. Carefully slide the parchment paper with cookies onto a wire rack.
  10. Let cool completely before transferring to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  11. Repeat with remaining batter, using a fresh sheet of parchment paper for each batch.
  12. Once completely cool, arrange cookies in a decorative box or tin lined with festive tissue paper and tie with a ribbon.
