Kletskoppen are delightful Dutch lace cookies with a thin, crispy texture and a sweet caramel flavor, making them a beloved Dutch dessert. These delicate treats are the ideal accompaniment to a relaxing tea or coffee, offering a satisfying crunch and rich taste.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and corn syrup over low heat. Stir until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the flour, vanilla extract, and salt until you have a smooth batter.
Step 4
Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each as they will spread during baking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
Step 6
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they are firm enough to transfer to a wire rack. Once on the rack, they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Serve your Kletskoppen with your favorite hot beverage and enjoy their delicate crunch and rich caramel flavor.
