Hi Bold Bakers! IN THIS RECIPE: Want a fancy treat without all the work? Lace sandwiches, or laceys, are absolutely the trick. I love the flavors of laceys, they’re nutty and toffee-like with chocolate in between, but the textures are what make this easy-to-make, delicate cookie shine. They’re crispy, super thin, and I can’t stop eating them. Already have an account? These lovelies have only 7 simple ingredients — seriously, the only thing you might have to run out for are some almonds or bittersweet chocolate if you ran out. They come together in no time, too, if you need an absolute last-minute dessert show-stopper or holiday gift. Homemade lace sandwiches are a real crowdpleaser. I use almonds for these laceys, but you can choose your favorite nut of choice too!
What Are Lace Sandwiches (Laceys)?
Crispy, crunchy lace sandwiches have the delicious flavors of almonds, caramel hints, and chocolate, and the texture is crunchy and very delicate. They’re made with butter, dark brown sugar, honey, AP flour, vanilla extract, bittersweet chocolate, and nuts. They get their names from their see-through appearance, which looks a lot fancier than it is to make!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Lace Sandwiches
You can use walnuts, pecans, or any other nut you prefer in place of the almonds. You can replace the honey with corn syrup or golden syrup if that is what you have on hand. If you prefer milk chocolate or even white chocolate, go ahead and use this instead of bittersweet chocolate. You can also serve these cookies without any chocolate! Try crumbling these cookies on a scoop of homemade chocolate or vanilla ice cream or coffee gelato!
How To Store Homemade Lace Sandwiches
Homemade lace sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Be sure to store the cookies between layers of parchment, so they do not stick together.
