Florentine cookies are thin and crisp, made with a combination of almonds, melted chocolate, and orange zest. Duff Goldman has a unique recipe that starts with butter, half-and-half, sugar, and honey, enhanced with a pinch of salt to elevate flavor. The batter is flavored with vanilla and orange zest, bound with flour, and includes flaked almonds. After pressing the batter into circles, they are baked and finished with melted chocolate. Goldman’s method incorporates personal touches and a simple ingredients list while also showcasing culinary traditions.
According to Goldman, the fusion of flavor and chewy-yet-crunchy texture in Florentine cookies is hard to beat. They have a distinctive ingredients list: almonds, melted chocolate, and orange zest.
Goldman emphasizes the importance of salt in enhancing flavor, stating that 'the thing that my great grandma always told me - always, always - is that everything needs a little bit of salt.'
The recipe is a one-pan process, combining butter, half-and-half, sugar, and honey, along with vanilla and orange zest to flavor the batter, which is then bound with flour and folded in flaked almonds.
