Recipe
Yield: About 4 dozen
Prep Time: 50 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (150 g) sliced almonds
½ cup + 2 Tbsp (130 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
¼ cup (75 g) honey
1/3 cup (80 mL) whipping (35%) cream
5 oz (150 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Line a baking tray with a silicone-coated liner.
2. Place the sliced almonds in a re-sealable bag and crush them a little using a rolling pin or even your hands. Set aside.
3. Place the sugar, honey and whipping cream in a small sauce pot and bring up to a full boil while stirring, and continue to boil and stir until the mixture reaches 244 F (118 C) on a candy thermometer. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the almonds and transfer this to a bowl to cool for about 15 minutes.
4. Have a bowl of cool water on hand as well as a 2 ½-inch (65 mm) round cookie cutter. Drop small teaspoonfuls of the almond batter onto the prepared baking tray, leaving at least 3 to 4 inches (75-100 mm) between the spoonfuls to allow for spreading. With wet fingers, press down the almond batter a little. Bake the Florentines for about 12 minutes, until they have flattened and have browned evenly (you may find rotating the pans halfway through baking promotes even browning). Let the Florentines sit for 30 to 90 seconds to set a little (but not fully). Dip the cookie cutter in the cool water and press it into each cookie to cut a precise circle. Now allow the cookies to fully cool and use a palette knife to carefully lift them off the tray, carefully pulling away the trimmings. Repeat with the remaining batter (and keep the cookie trimming scraps – they make an excellent topping for ice cream, or stirred into a cheesecake batter.
5. Once the Florentines have fully cooled, prepare the chocolate for brushing on each. To temper the chocolate, you will need a marble board (or a granite or other stone countertop, or a stainless steel counter will also do). Place all of the chopped chocolate in a metal bowl and set this over a pot of barely simmering water (no bubbles visible), stirring gently until melted and the temperature reaches 113 - 122 F (45-50 C). Pour two thirds of the chocolate onto your marble surface and set bowl with the remaining chocolate off to the side on a towel (away from heat and not on the marble).
6. Using two putty knives, or a palette knife & bench scraper, spread out the chocolate into a thin layer and use your tools to push the chocolate back into the centre of the board, scarping your tools to clean them of the chocolate at each push. This action of moving the chocolate plus the cooling property of the marble will lower the temperature of the chocolate. Keep repeating this process or spreading and scraping in until a temperature of 81 - 82 F (27-28 C) is achieved.
7. Stir and check the temperature of your reserved chocolate – it should have cooled to about 104 – 113 F (40-45 C). Now add the marble-cooled chocolate back to the bowl and stir for about 30 seconds before checking the temperature – it should be between 88 - 90 F (31-32 C) and is now “tempered”. To double check, dip a piece of parchment into the chocolate and set on your marble – it should start setting within a minute or two.
8. Use a pastry brush to brush an even layer of the chocolate onto the back of each Florentine and place these on a parchment-lined baking tray** to set. Pop the tray in the fridge for 3-5 minutes, just for a final “cure” or set, but then remove to store the Florentines in a cool place, in an airtight container.
** As a decorative option, you can use cocoa butter transfer sheets (found at stores that carry cake decorating supplies) and place the chocolate brushed Florentine on the sheet. Chill the Florentines as above, then peel then off the transfer sheet, revealing a lovely, shiny design and store.
The Florentines will keep for up to a week.

Deliciously Ella Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies | Gluten Free
Easy chocolate chip cookies. These take just twenty minutes from start to finish, and are so delicious - I love them warm straight out the oven when they're still nice and gooey. Recipe below...
Ingredients:
110g chocolate
100g coconut sugar
75g coconut oil
90g ground oats/oat flour
70g buckwheat flour
60g brown rice flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
40ml water
pinch of salt
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 170C, fan oven
Start by melting the coconut oil on on a low heat - don’t let it come to the boil. Once it's liquid, pour it into a mixing bowl with the coconut sugar and stir until combined.
Next add in the ground oats, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well, then stir in the water. Now stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll the mix into balls, then flatten and place onto baking paper lined baking trays.
Bake for 12 mins. The cookies come out soft at this point and finish setting on the tray once they’re out the oven, so do leave them for a few minutes before digging in!

Chocolate Sugar Cookies | Soft Dutch Cocoa Cookies Recipe
Soft Chocolate Sugar Cookies | Soft Dutch Cocoa Cookies Recipe
:: Cook Me Food ::
These irresistible sugar cookies are soft and full of rich chocolate flavor. They have a slightly fudgy center and a crusted crackly surface with a little crisp around the edges. Deeply chocolatey and ideally indulgent!
You’ll need:
• 1 2/3 cup (207g) all-purpose flour (*see notes below)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp espresso/instant coffee powder (optional but recommended)
• 1/3 cup + ¼ cup (53g) cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed)
• ¾ cup (168g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 ¼ cup (175g) light brown sugar
• 1 medium whole egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• white sugar for coating (about 1/3 cup or 70g)
Makes 18 delicious cookies
* Using 2-inch cookie scoop in the video
Cool. Serve. Enjoy!
:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
* Don’t over bake these cookies. When you take them out from the oven, they should still be soft at the center. They will settle as they cool. Let them rest for 1 minute on the baking tray and transfer them in wire rack to finish cooling completely.
* Measure your flour and cocoa powder correctly. Adding too much flour or cocoa powder will result to dry and crumbly cookies when baked. Fluff your flour /cocoa powder with a spoon in the container, spooned it into your measuring cup until full, and use the back of the knife to level it off.
* For a more robust chocolate taste, you can use ground espresso instead of instant ground coffee. Or when using instant ground coffee you can use 1/2 tsp.
Happy baking!
Thanks for watching!
