Time 2h45m

Yield 28 Sandwich Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups sliced almonds, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons honey
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the almonds, flour and zest in a medium bowl. Stir the sugar, butter, cream, and honey in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the almond mixture. Cool the batter for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using 2 teaspoons of batter for each cookie, spoon 8 mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart (the cookies will spread). Flatten the batter slightly with your finger.
  • Bake the cookies until they are lacy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Gently slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a rack and cool completely. Transfer the cookies to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, lining the baking sheets with clean parchment for each batch. (The cookies can be made up to this point 2 months ahead. Cool completely, then store airtight in the freezer. Defrost before continuing.)
  • Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of 1 cookie. Top with a second cookie, bottom side down, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate.

FLORENTINE ALMOND ARTICHOKE MOUNDS



Florentine Almond Artichoke Mounds image

I always enjoyed traditional artichoke-cheese dip, and for a party, I wanted to create a new appetizer that was a spin on that. This original creation is a bit reminiscent of the dip recipe, and works well on a buffet. -Sherry Johnston, Green Cove Springs, Florida

CHICKEN FLORENTINE ARTICHOKE BAKE



Chicken Florentine Artichoke Bake image

A good use of leftover chicken. The addition of farfalle pasta and veggies makes it a one-dish meal!

Provided by Debbie

Categories     Chicken Casserole

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 ½ heads broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk, or more to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes; pasta will be slightly undercooked.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli. Run under cold water and drain again. Add to the onion mixture along with spinach, cooked chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Italian cheese.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Slowly whisk in flour; cook and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Add enough milk to thin the sauce enough so it will coat all ingredients in the bowl; it will thicken more in the oven.
  • Pour sauce into the bowl and mix until well combined. Transfer contents to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
