French Lace Cookies are originated from France and are known for their lacy appearance due to the web-like patterns formed by the buttery baked batter. They are a perfect amalgamation of crunchy and chewy textures, which makes them stand out from other cookies. They are traditionally made with almonds, which gives them a unique nutty flavor. These cookies are a perfect accompaniment to your evening tea or coffee and are sure to impress your guests with their unique texture and taste.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.	In a medium bowl, combine flour and chopped almonds.
3.	In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Bring just to boiling, stirring occasionally.
4.	Remove from heat; stir in almond extract.
5.	Pour syrup mixture over flour mixture; stir until blended.
6.	Drop dough mixture by rounded teaspoons 4 inches apart onto a baking sheet that has been lined with foil or parchment paper.
7.	Bake until edges are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
8.	Cool cookies for 1 minute on baking sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
