Florentines - Fiorentine (Florentine Cookies) image

My husband Mike makes these fabulous flat (no-flour) Italian cookies every year for the holidays, and they're absolutely heavenly! These cookies are an excellent addition to food gifts, as they will keep for a long time. Silpat baking sheets are very helpful when making these little gems.

Time 20m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon candied citrus peel (orange and lemon)
2 ounces butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 ounce candied cherry (about 5)
1/2 ounce crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon cream
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate

Steps:

  • Finely chop walnuts, almonds, raisins, orange and lemon peel, cherries, and ginger.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan, then add sugar and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute without stirring (until just turning light golden).
  • Remove from heat and mix well with cream and fruit-nut mixture.
  • Spoon heaped teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet (if you have a Silpat, use it!), leaving plenty of space for spreading- try only doing four at a time until you see how large they spread.
  • Bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before carefully removing with spatula.
  • Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave and spread thinly on flat side of cookies.

These cookies are way too expensive. I can get a better deal at the grocery store.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think they would be better if they were made with more butter.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I loved these cookies. The nuts add a nice crunch and flavor.
