How to Make Super Easy 4 Ingredient Lace Cookies

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons (30g) packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, and 1 1/2 tablespoons (22ml) light corn syrup. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons (12g) all-purpose flour until the batter is completely smooth.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Drop 1 teaspoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set. Watch closely as baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  6. Carefully peel the cookies from the parchment paper while still warm and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.
  7. Once cool, use the cookies to make buttercream sandwiches, mini ice cream bowls, or cones. Enjoy!
