MAPLE NUT LACE COOKIES
These thin, toffee-like, maple-nut cookies are easy to make and fun to eat. Make this recipe with purchased chopped pecans to ensure uniformity of size and smoothness of edges. Makes about 16 cookies.

Ingredients
½ stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon maple extract
½ cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter; stir in sugar, maple syrup, and corn syrup until combined. Stir in maple extract, pecans, and flour until combined. Cook, stirring gently, 1 minute.

Drop dough by tablespoons, 3 inches apart, onto prepared pan; bake 11 minutes. The cookies spread, so, after 5 minutes, push edges in with a spatula to keep cookies about 3 inches across. Cool on pan 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
