Made these today: they came out beautiful. I'll bring some as a gift on Christmas Eve, if I don't accidentally eat them first. Thanks, Chef!! (Top tip for anyone who wants to make them: keep an eye on their colour from eight minutes into the bake. They can go from perfect to burned in less than 30 seconds.)
What Chef John is good for: giving us entertaining videos featuring delicious, easy to follow recipes What Chef John is also good for: making me realize I haven't listened to Without Me by Eminem in a very long time.

My bride just pulled the first batch out of the oven! They are AMAZING!!! She made them with gluten free all purpose flour, and absolutely no problemo! Thanks Chef J!
Chopped bitter orange is a worthwhile addition to the dough!
I already enjoy your witty banter and then you throw out a Janis Joplin reference. That, sir, elevated you into the favorite chef spot. Excellent.
Made these today, first time, forgot to eat dinner I got so busy. WATCH THEM, don't go by baking temp. I had to do 8 minutes instead of the 10-12, size similar, am at high elevation. First baking i've done in years and it came out DELICIOUS (after 2nd batch) worth the time every so often, and a great party cookie
Hello john, here we are again, to see your beautiful recipes❤
Made them this morning...they spread like crazy! 8 on a silpat was 4 too many, so I'm baking 4 at a time. Very thin, lacy and delicious! But my first batch looked like the Blob! All melted together.

Yep. Dansukker is the standard brand here in Sweden, but I'm sure any golden syrup will be lovely. It's a generally pretty awesome ingredient in cookies tbh.
I made them the minute I saw the video. Mine Spread it all around the pan creating one uniformed Continent. I had to use a cookie cutter while hot to segregate and then push the cookie cutter again to split the caramelized Florentine. I think I pulsed the almond to fine. Even more I use Velroh duch process Cocoa to make the chocolate spread because I didn’t have 75% chocolate bar. the ganache became a sauce that it did not harden at all. The taste is beyond incredible. I swiped them clean again as used a chocolate melted bar. I’m crossing fingers. Without the chocolate, the more it burns and darkens, the beater the taste. The honey ... spot on.
When I was working ft and pregnant with my first, a coworker named Debbie would make these for me and other delicious sweets. I miss her she was the best!
When a Chef John video goes live right as I’m finishing my weekly grocery order, that’s the good luck. And all I have to add for this one is some almonds.
I like the recipes for these cookies with orange zest in them. It add a wonderful bit of floral finish to the bite and aftertaste.
These remind me of childhood. They look so fancy but they are easy! I like to paint melted chocolate on the back. I also make them with oatmeal instead of almonds for a cheapie cookie!

This was posted the day after my 48th birthday and I consider it to be the perfect gift! In the last few months my upstairs neighbor has collectively given me about 10 pounds of almonds that he no longer wanted. I tried to find out what he found distasteful about them when they came from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods etc. as they taste Just as they're supposed to. I never did find out and have been burdened with trying to find something to do with the dang things before I forget about them all together and their oils turn. This Is PERFECT!!! These are an absolute top favorite and usually make mine with oatmeal because I can't ever afford the high cost of almonds. I have so many now that I'm going to try both honey And corn syrup AND try a half and half for a more delicate flavor. Your description of the honey triggered the thought of possibly adding a 3rd batch using half molasses using the same neighbor's contribution... I need to spend a little more time on the science behind that one before sacrificing beautiful butter and nuts to a possible inedible failure. Thank you for the Birthday Gift, Chef John!
Someone brought in lace cookies this week with dark chocolate! OMG! Thanks, Food Wishes I can make some now, Happy Holidays!
I made lace cookies once by accident I was making raisin oatmeal cookies and forgot the flour. VERY PRETTY!!!
"that person ends up with a gift card" hahahaha too true! I discovered cookie gift must be made the night before, or it will find a way to disappear 😋

I used to get these from the supermarket bakery but they quit making them. I didn't realize how easy they are to make! Will be getting ingredients tomorrow. Also, someone mentioned using golden syrup instead of honey or corn syrup - that's a great idea!
I bet those would be good with some Vanilla Ice cream.
Another Holiday classic! Growing up, there was a lunch counter that sold freshly made cookies like these, called pogens. It was said to be an exotic European cookie but all over the world butter and sugar tastes good in a cookie! As for other holiday recipes, we are getting ready to bake anchovy and onion pizza!
I accidentally made some cookies that tasted very much like lace cookies. I was having some people over for dinner. One of the ladies is gluten free. So I ground some oatmeal to use in place of wheat in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (there was also about half whole oats). Maybe I used too much Earth Balance, but when in the oven the cookies immediately spread over the entire pan in a thin layer. I tried to take them off the cookie sheet a little too early and they broke into pieces. I learned to let them set a little longer. I cut them into squares before removing. I let the last pan sit too long and it was just crumbles. I served the big pieces to the company. They liked it. My husband and I really liked the leftovers - even the crumbles. It was delicious - it had a caramel taste from the brown sugar (I never use white sugar - only brown sugar.) They were so good I'm going to try to make them again.
I love your videos because you talk us through the process. I hate those videos that play music and are non vocal !
When I was growing up, my grandmother made these cookies for Christmas and Easter and my job was to stand in front of a hot pot of ganache with two forks to dip the underside of the cookies before dropping them on upside down cookies to sandwich them together. Pepperidge Farm has a tiny version that is not nearly as good.
I made these today and they turned out perfect.
Perfect with a good cup of coffee.

I had a happy accident when I tried to make gluten-free pecan sandies with almond and oat flour. They just melted onto the silpat like a florentine, all lacy and crisp once they cooled. Pretty good actually.
When are the "Chomp Don't Lie" t-shirts going to available? Also nice touch taking a bite out of 1 cookie and putting it back on the stack. Great way to claim the entire stack without having to say a word.
Food gifts are the best gifts. Thanks, Chef John!

Great Recipe John! We just made them and they turned our great! We used hazelnuts since that's what we had on hand. My wife nearly "tested" half a tray :D
Perfect timing! I lost my recipe for these & wanted to make some for Christmas. Chocolate peek-a-boo Is my favourite action.
h my gosh, my aunt made these for Christmas one year when I was a kid and I thought she just messed up her oatmeal cookies
My favorite cookies for sure! Better than chocolate chip cookies by far!!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.❤
I have everything I need to make these cookies already! I'm going to make them! Thanks, Chef John!
i LOVE these things! i used to buy them at a local grocery store, but they quit making them :( they used to drizzle dark chocolate on the top, and they also made them with slivered almonds instead of chopped. either way looks good to me. i haven't made any type of cookies in probably 30 years at least, but i'm for sure going to try to make these.
Omg this is the recipe i needed. Ive spent a fortune on Aldi's coconut cashew crispies. Im going to experiment with those ingredients in this technique! Thank you so much!
Look lovely and a lot more delicate that the ones we tend to do here in the UK. Ours tend to be slightly thicker and will often have some buigger chunks or whole nuts in there along with some dried fruit like raisins, pieces of glacé cherries, candied ginger & peel & if we're really good glacé angelica. This tends to make them slighlty chewier, though I like the "snap" of yours.
I want a cookie and a cup of coffee right now!
Wooo macadamia and white chocolate, that must be delightful
Can use parchment paper for backing? LOVE your presentations !!! Thank you so much
Perfect. These are one of my favorite cookies. I’ll make a batch this weekend.
Hi Chef John, I just whipped up a double batch if these toothsome dainties, jeeze, they are terrific! Great instructions, easy to make, and the chocolate, PERFECT!!!
