Pecan Praline Lace Cookies

These thin, lacy cookies provide plenty of eye candy and taste a bit like candy too. I spotted these online several months ago and have been itching to try making these. While the recipe assures you that it's simple to make, it took me several tries to get it right. These spread out a lot while they bake so at first the edges were overlapping a lot. In addition, I kept burning them. (Note: You're supposed to let the baking sheet cool in between batches! Didn't notice that line until I had finished.) A food processor would've made chopping the pecans a whole lot easier. Despite the effort, I think these would be worth making to wow dinner guests. Tastes great paired with vanilla ice cream.
