Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup finely chopped almonds
8 ounces chopped candied orange peel
8 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Blend the sugar and the cream. Stir in the flour, almonds and orange peel. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a heavily creased and floured cookie sheet. Spread mixture into thin circles with a spatula.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) just until the edges are light brown about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before removing from the cookie sheet, cool.
  • Chop the chocolate up into small pieces. Melt chocolate over low heat or in the microwave on medium for about 3 minutes. Turn the cooled cookies upside down and spread the bottoms with the melted chocolate. Let cookies stand at room temperature until chocolate is firm, at least 3 hours. Store in a covered container at room temperature or refrigerate.

These Florentines were so easy to make! I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to make them without any problems. They turned out great and were a big hit with my family.

I had some trouble getting the Florentines to hold their shape. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer. But even though they weren't perfect, they still tasted great.

These Florentines were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time. Overall, they were a good cookie.

These Florentines were a bit of a disappointment. They were too sweet and the texture was a little too crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought these Florentines were just okay. They were a bit too sweet for my taste and the texture was a little too chewy. I probably won't make them again.
