Does anyone have the recipe for this version of the cookies? I tried on the cooking board. Thanks.

Florentines can be made many ways. Sometimes with nuts and fruit, sometimes just as a chocolate sandwich. This is a recipe that has worked well for me in the past.

HTH



1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. heavy cream
1/3 c. honey
4 tbsp. butter
4 oz. ground candied orange peel
6 oz. blanched sliced almonds
3 tbsp. flour
8 oz. semi sweet chocolate, melted with 2 tbsp. butter

Combine the sugar, cream, honey and butter in saucepan and boil until the candy thermometer registers 240 degrees, or until a firm ball is formed.

Stir in candied orange peel, almonds and flour.

Drop small teaspoon of this batter on well-greased cookie sheets, leaving at least 2" between cookies.

Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in milk.

Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies look golden. Immediately upon removing from oven, shape each cookie with a greased round cutter.

When firm, remove from sheets and cool.

Coat back of each cookie thinly with melted chocolate and butter. Place in refrigerator briefly.

Makes about 14 to 16.
