    Default looking for the name of a cookie

    I had these at a party a few years ago, found and then lost the recipe.

    It's a thin cookie, wafer like, probably made with lots of butter and sugar because they cook up and have a bit of a lacy look to them. Two of those are put together with chocolate and jam. There may be ground nuts in the batter.

    Sound familiar to anyone?

    Yes, I think it is some variation on the lace cookies, but I swear I don't remember oatmeal in them. Thanks.

    I googled 'lacy cookies with chocolate filling' and got a slew of recipes, some of them were called 'Florentines'. Does that ring a bell? Many of them did contain oatmeal.

    I think if you google the same, one of the recipes will 'click' with you. You might remember something....

    Florentines are made with ground almonds , so that could be where the nut taste came from. Lots of recipes for florentines or almond lace cookies out there!

    ContraryHousewife-found a recipe you might be interested in. The cookies were called Praline Lace Cookies. I have a recipe for that cookie if you don't find one.
