The 'Bakers Royale' blog recently put together a recipe that offer a sweet and salty take on the classic lace cookie. Lace cookies are delicate biscuits named after the lacy shape they take on when baked. This recipe puts an unexpected twist on the delicate Christmas cookie.
Although lace cookies are fragile and delicate, they are not all that complicated to make. In addition to the traditional lace cookies batter, this recipe also calls for Maple Bacon-flavored kettle chips. The potato chips add a salty element that tones down the overall sweetness of the cookies. The Maple Bacon flavor also adds a touch of smokiness that pairs well with some of the heavier ingredients.
These sweet and salty biscuits are the perfect way to add some variety to a Christmas cookie platter.
