Light & Crispy Florentines
I wanted to try making a simple, low-calorie version of the florentines I saw in a bakery.
The ingredients for the cookie dough are the same as those for this recipe: "Twisted Sweet yet Salty Cookies".
You can substitute the almonds with walnuts or pecans and these florentines will still taste great. Recipe by Pekopuku

My Florentines My Florentines
I learned the original recipe from a friend's mother when I was a student.. I arranged it to my own way after making it several times. There are many florentine with hard crunchy cookie bottoms, but I like crispy and soft cookies. So if you ask me about florentines, it would be with this recipe.I used a swiss roll cake pan. If the dough is difficult to handle at Step 6, let the dough sit in the refrigerator for a while and then roll it out with a rolling pin. The filling gets hard when cold, so if you are making it for the first time, I think it would be better to bake the cookie bottom half way before starting to make the filling. Use granulated sugar for sugar if you have. For one square cake pan or baking sheet which is 25 to 30 cm [11.8 in] in diameter. Recipe by Puru berry

My cooking teacher, Eri-nyan who used to be a patissier, taught me how to make this chocolate crunch, and I made it at an "easy baking" event. It's unbelievably easy, yet it tastes like a professionally made one. All the participants were deeply impressed.I added some notes to my teacher's recipe for beginners, and I uploaded it on COOKPAD.The melted marshmallows turned like caramel sauce, and that made this chocolate crunch retain a flaky texture of the corn flakes, yet soft and chewy.Please adjust the amount of butter to taste.In Step 4-Step 7, the mixture will burn if the heat is too high. Heat over low heat while stirring slowly.In Step 8, transfer the mixture quickly into the tray.Recipe by mmameco. -

Coconut Florentine Coconut Florentine
--I recommend making the dough with powdered sugar to make it smooth.-If you have a large oven, spread out the entire amount of the dough, then top with double the amount of nougat, and bake it all together.-I'm afraid of messing it up, so I divided the dough into two batches and baked them separately.

Florentine-Style Rusk Florentine-Style Rusk
I got bread crust from the bakery and thought of baking rusks but wanted to add toppings. Then, I found almost-expired sliced almonds in my refrigerator! It falls off if you just put them on so I mixed it with caramel like a florentine biscuit and it turned out be amazing!The caramel gets dark (and bitter) when you heat it too quickly over strong heat so make sure you heat it slowly over low heat.Here, I used 3 slices of crust I got from the bakery but you can also use any bread you like such as white bread or slices of french baguette. Depending on the thickness of the bread you will need to adjust baking times. Recipe by yaburie -

This is the Best Florentine (Florentina) This is the Best Florentine (Florentina)
This is one of my favorite sweets, but it's unexpectedly expensive when you try to buy it, so I made it myself. You might hesitate to buy malt syrup, but you really should. It is worth the price.I usually bake this on a cookie sheet, but you can try making the mini sized tarts for your family as well.After baking, cut it up as soon as it is cool enough to touch.It breaks apart easily once it hardens, and you won't be to get it out of the mold.You won't need a special mold if you are making them in squares. Just line a cookie sheet with parchment paper that is raised a bit over the edge of the sheet. Squares work best if you are making lots of these. For 18 cm tart pan (using 32x30 cm [12.6x11.8 in] cookie sheet). Recipe by Amikope -
Florentine Florentine
I'm not big fan of hard Florentine. So I increased the amount of butter and made it into melt-in-your- mouth Florentine.The cookie dough should be rich in butter, and the sugar has to be powdered sugar. It has crumbly texture and goes well with the caramel on top but I think about calories.The aroma and flavor improved with the addition of orange peel. Recipe by nyonta
