Brandy Snaps
These wafer-thin cookies have a distinct caramel taste. It’s a little unfair to categorise them as cookies as for me they feel a lot more sophisticated. I enhance them with ginger that showcases the nuttiness of the caramel & Lemon zest that balances it out. You can shape them as Cannolis & fill them with whipped cream, dip them in chocolate or serve as a garnish on Vanilla bean ice cream.
