Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Sliced almonds
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Honey
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Dark chocolate
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and honey. Stir constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour and salt until fully combined.
Add the sliced almonds to the mixture and stir until the almonds are evenly coated with the caramel mixture.
Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking trays, leaving enough space between each for spreading during baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and lacy in appearance.
Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the parchment paper. They will harden as they cool.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently.
Once the cookies have cooled, pair them by similar size and shape.
Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with its matching pair, flat sides facing inwards.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or place the cookies in the refrigerator for a quicker setting.
Serve and enjoy your delicate and delicious Florentines Sandwich Cookies!
