Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies

May 19, 2013 by Carol Arroyo

Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies
Crisp, yet chewy. These thin and lacey wafers are sandwiched with a creamy milk chocolate filling. Not your everyday cookie as they take a little extra time and care to make, but worth the effort.
Recipe type: Dessert | Sandwich Cookies | Shaped Cookies | Chocolate
Prep time:  30 mins
Cook time:  10 mins
Total time:  40 mins
Recipe Notes
Pan: Two Large Baking Sheets Pan Prep: Foil Lined and Lightly Greased Oven Temp: 375° Yield: 2 Dozen Sandwich Cookies Storage: Airtight Container, Room Temperature

Help: Cookie Hints and Tips, Melting Chocolate, Chocolate Types
Ingredients
Dough:
  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup milk (preferably whole milk)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Filling:
  • 12 ounces Milk Chocolate, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 2 large baking sheets; line with foil and lightly grease with shortening.
Batter:
  1. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine melted butter, oats, sugar, flour, salt, corn syrup, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly.
  2. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart onto foil lined baking sheets. Spread the dough into a thin circle with the back of a spoon that has been dipped in water (so the dough does not stick to the spoon.)
  3. Bake: Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Remove cookies from baking sheets with a metal spatula and place on a wire cooling rack to cool. Gently peel foil from cooled cookies. Tip: since the foil will probably crumple and tear when peeling away from the cookie, plan on using a fresh sheet of foil for each pan of cookies.
Filling:
  1. In top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the milk chocolate. Or, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, use 50% power and stir frequently just until the chocolate is melted; do not overheat as chocolate will burn easily. Set aside to cool slightly. Tip: Create a double boiler by filling a saucepan with 2 inches of water and heat to simmering. Place a stainless steel, ceramic, or glass bowl on top of the simmering water, the upper pan should not touch the water.
  2. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, placing flat side onto the chocolate.

Easter Coconut Cake

April 16, 2019 By Carol Arroyo

Save Print Easter Coconut Cake A coconut custard cake all dressed for Easter. I purchased the cute Easter sprinkles at a local cake decorating shop. I made one mistake on this cake; when making the white chocolate drip I was rushed for time and simply melted the candy melts instead of making a ganache. This […]

Lemony Carrot Cake

Save Print Lemony Carrot Cake A simple carrot cake flavored with a touch of cinnamon and crushed pineapple, and wowed with a lemony cream cheese filling. I used American Buttercream for the frosting, but Swiss Meringue Buttercream or Flour Buttercream would also be delicious. Recipe type: Dessert | Oil Cake | Layer Cake Prep time:  45 […]
