Instructions
Brandy Snaps
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C and line baking sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat.

  4. In a small saucepan, add butter, sugar, syrup.

  8. Using a teaspoon, drop the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow for about 4-5 inches between each.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes. The mixture will spread and form a lace. Allow to darken to a rich golden color.
  10. Remove and allow to cool on pan for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Carefully use a spatula to slide under each disc, transfer to the oiled spoon handle and carefully wrap, overlapping the ends to form a tube.
  12. Remove to rack to cool.
  13. Repeat as needed for additional sheets of cookies.

Notes
Pro Tip:
If the discs are too brittle to wrap, put the pan back in the oven for a minute to soften them back up. If the cookie mixture is too hard to spoon onto sheet, you may roll it into a ball and place on the baking pan and flatten lightly with the same result.

Store unfilled brandy snaps in airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week.
