Honey Florentines

To ensure uniform cookies, scoop out this batter with a measuring spoon. Leave adequate space between dollops—the cookies will expand considerably while they bake. If desired, embellish the cooled cookies with melted chocolate: Sandwich two cookies with it, dip cookie halves in it, drizzle it over the tops, or spread it on the flat sides of each.

    makes 2 dozen

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons honey

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter, brown sugar, and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in flour and salt until smooth.

    Step 2

    Working quickly, drop 1/2 teaspoons of batter onto large baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing at least 3 inches apart.

Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days.
