Lace-Cookie Tips: Scoop out batter with a measuring spoon to ensure evenly sized cookies. Leave adequate space between dollops; they will expand considerably while the bake. Once cool, dip into the refreshingly delightful Earl Grey Pots de Creme for a magnificent snack.

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1½ tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with Silpats (French baking mats) or parchment paper. Set aside. In a small saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and honey. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in flour and salt until smooth.
2. Working quickly, drop ½ teaspoon of batter onto prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. Bake until cookies spread and turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely. With your fingers, carefully remove cookies from pan.
