Florentines

Ingredients:
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
sugars, granulated
butter, without salt
nuts, almonds
orange juice, raw
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched

Directions:
In a saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup each of heavy cream and sugar and 3 tablespoons butter and bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove it from the heat and stir in 1 1/4 cups finely chopped almonds, 3/4 cup finely chopped candied orange peel, and 1/3 cup flour.
Drop the batter from a tablespoon into mounds about 3 inches apart on oiled and lightly floured cookie sheets and flatten each cookie with a wet spatula.
Bake the cookies in a moderate oven (350F) for about 10 minutes.
Remove them from the oven and let them stand for about 5 minutes.
Remove the cookies to a wire rack, let them cool completely, and spread them with chocolate glaze.
Chill them.
Melt 1 ounce each of unsweetened chocolate and sweet cooking chocolate over simmering water.
Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon honey and stir the glaze until the butter is melted.
For an easier glaze, use melted bittersweet chocolate.
