Florentines - Fiorentine (Florentine Cookies)


1. Finely chop walnuts, almonds, raisins, orange and lemon peel, cherries, and ginger.

2. Melt butter in a saucepan, then add sugar and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved.

3. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute without stirring (until just turning light golden).

4. Remove from heat and mix well with cream and fruit-nut mixture.

5. 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.

6. Bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Let cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before carefully removing with spatula.

8. Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave and spread thinly on flat side of cookies.
