Florentine Cookies - Florentiner




Florentines are a wonderful holiday cookie, but delightful all year round. Austrian bakers are attributed with creating these cookies although their name implies an Italian heritage.
Florentines are a delicious mixture of candied fruit (I used dried cranberries) and nuts (I used sliced almonds) with caramel, then baked. They are very often finished with chocolate on one side.

  • 100 g Butter
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 250 ml Whipping cream
  • 300 g Almond slices
  • 100 g Dried cranberries, finely chopped
  • 100 g Dark chocolate for coating, optional
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Chop the cranberries finely. Melt butter, sugar and honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture turns a caramel colour, stirring occasionally.
  2. Pour in the whipping cream and bring it to a boil. Add in chopped dried cranberries and almond slices. Lower the heat and cook until the mixture is combined and thickened.
  3. Scoop two rounded teaspoons of the mixture on prepared baking trays and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool. Coat or drizzle Florentines with melted chocolate as desired. Set aside at room temperature until set.

I'm not sure I've tried this cookie before - it sounds fabulous. My daughter was just asking me to make a different kind of cookie - this would be perfect because she loves almonds.

I love Florentine Cookies! I had these once a couple of years ago and it was delightful..but they had raisins and candied cherries instead of the cranberries. Very wonderful and a great change from the usual Christmas cookies! I will be keeping this recipe for certain! Thank you for posting.

I love florentines. Just discovered them 2 weeks ago when customers at my local baking shop recommended the pre-mix to me. They are so tempting that I can't seem to put them down. And sinful too. But definitely yummmmmy!
