Delicious and nostalgic Homemade Florentine Cookies featuring a delightful balance of nuts, dried fruits, and rich chocolate.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup dried fruits (e.g., cherries, apricots, raisins)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chopped nuts and dried fruits.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the honey until well-combined.
  4. Add the nut and fruit mixture to the melted butter and honey, stirring until evenly coated.
  5. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet, forming small mounds about an inch apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid overbaking.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Melt the chocolate and drizzle generously over each cooled cookie. Allow it to set before serving.

Notes

For allergy concerns, substitute nuts with seeds as needed. Use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option.
