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.
