Easy Florentine Cookies
Description
This easy Florentine cookie recipe includes a creamy milk chocolate filling that elevates a delicate oat cookie into the ultimate sandwich cookie.
Ingredients
•
2/3 cup butter
•
2 cups quick-cooking oats
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/4 cup corn syrup
•
1/4 cup milk
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®)
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with aluminum foil.
2
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and mix in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Drop by level teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Spread cookies out thin with a rubber spatula.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets.
4
Meanwhile, place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
5
Peel foil from cookies. Spread melted chocolate on 1/2 of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies.
