Florentine Lace Cookies

Creating the Cookie Base

 

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute.

Transfer the hot mixture to a heat-safe bowl. Stir in almond flour and salt.

Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.

Add vanilla and egg white, whisk until combined.

Let batter rest for 10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line baking trays with parchment paper.

Shaping and Baking

Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of batter onto trays, spaced apart to allow for spreading.

Bake for 7-9 minutes, until golden around the edges.

Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredients for the Filling

Ingredient Amount
Dark, milk, or white chocolate chips 8 oz
Heavy cream ⅓ cup
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

Crafting the Chocolate Filling

Combine chocolate chips and cream in a heat-safe bowl.

Microwave in 45-second intervals until melted, stirring between each.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes until thick yet spreadable.

Assembly and Serving

Spread a bit of chocolate onto the flat side of one cookie.

Sandwich with a second cookie.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week refrigerated.

Tips and Variations
✔️ Different Chocolates: Use dark, milk, or white chocolate for variety.
✔️ Add Orange Zest: Stir some zest into the chocolate for a citrus twist.
✔️ Individual Cookies: Skip the filling and enjoy them crisp and plain.
