Cherry-Almond Florentines
Florentines are very special and tasty cookies. When you understand the concept, you can make plenty of variations.
- 140 g cane sugar
- 100 g honey
- 175 g butter, unsalted
- 200 g almond flakes
- 150 g cocktail cherries, sliced
- 50 g all purpose flour
- 50 g oatmeal
- 200 g 70% dark chocolate
- Heat oven to 180°C
- Take a large saucepan and melt together sugar, honey, and butter. Don’t let it heat up; just what it needs.
- Add flaked almonds, sliced cherries, and flour. Mix well.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Spread the mixture onto the baking tray.
- Bake about 10-15 minutes, until it gets a golden colour. Set aside to cool down.
- Melt the chocolate in water bath.
- Take another baking tray with a baking paper and turn the Florentine onto it. Take the paper out. Don’t be surprised if Florentine is sticky. If you have wholes you can still fix it.
- Spread the chocolate on top. Let it rest again, until the chocolate hardens.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the Florentines to the shapes you like.
No good points, only pure pleasure.
