Draft:Florentine cookie
Type of cookie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florentine cookie is a type of cookie originating in Italy and France. It is made from nuts, sugar, honey, and butter, often with the addition of candied fruit, and is usually coated or drizzled with chocolate. The cookies are thin, crisp, and lacy in texture, which gives them the nickname "lace cookies."[1][2]

History
Florentine cookies are believed to have originated in Italy during the Renaissance period, later becoming popular in France.[3] The name "Florentine" refers to the city of Florence, which is historically associated with fine confections and pastries. These cookies became widely known for their texture and sweet and nutty flavors.[4]
Preparation
To make Florentine cookies, nuts (commonly Almonds or Hazelnuts) are mixed with sugar, honey, and butter, then combined with small pieces of candied fruit. The mixture is spooned onto baking sheets and baked until golden brown. After cooling, the cookies are often coated with melted chocolate on one side or drizzled with chocolate for decoration. Their lacy texture comes from the thin spreading of the mixture during baking.[5][6]
Variations
- Chocolate-dipped Florentines
- Mixed nut Florentines
- Florentines with candied orange or cherries
- Vegan or dairy-free Florentines using plant-based butter or chocolate[7]
