These exquisite lace cookies have a delicious flavor. Since I was a young child, it has been a Christmas ritual in our family. These cookies spread out to form an incredibly thin, nearly translucent wafer. Super simple to prepare, but be careful as they can easily burn or cool down too much on the baking sheet, which will require you to chip the cookies off of the sheet. As much as my family does, I hope you appreciate these. Until serving, keep in an airtight container.
