Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon beaten egg white
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter with the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the sugar is almost dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the oats, flour, vanilla and salt. Let cool 10 minutes, then stir in the egg white.
  • Drop 6 rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, about 3 1/2 inches apart. Spread each mound into a 3-inch circle. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until firm, about 3 minutes, then carefully remove using a thin metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle on the cookies and let set, about 30 minutes.

My mom used to make these - they were our favorites! They are very crisp, and tend to shatter when you bite into them. Watch them carefully while baking since they do tend to burn quickly.

FLORENTINE COOKIES



Florentine Cookies image

Florentine Cookies are a delicious and simple cookie with great flavor and beautiful presentation! These thin and crisp cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday Christmas cookie rotation.

Provided by Janelle

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a baking mat or non-stick foil.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter.
  • Add brown sugar, oatmeal, flour and milk and bring to a boil.
  • Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Using a teaspoon (NOT TABLESPOON!), spoon out 5 teaspoons of cookie batter onto the cookie sheet in a zigzag pattern. You'll only be able to cook 5 cookies at a time, anymore and they will run together. The cookies will spread to 3-4 times their size when baking so they need plenty of room to spread.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely on the cookie sheet before removing from the pan to a cooling rack.
  • This recipe works best with 3 or 4 cookie sheets going at a time so that the cookies can fully cool (about 10 minutes per pan) while others are in the oven.
  • Once cookies are cool, store in an AIRTIGHT container.
  • Humidity and moisture will soften these and make them chewy.
  • They should be paper thin and crispy when fully cooled.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread more easily and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal Florentine cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, nutty flavor, and sweet glaze, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give oatmeal Florentine cookies a try!
