Cherry Florentines Cookies
Cherry Florentines are one version of these light, great-tasting, gourmet Italian cookies. The chocolate coating adds a special touch to these cookies.
Suprise someone and make these for a gift or take them to a Christmas party, family get-together or other special occasion. Then choose a way to
package
them.
They are not that hard to make, which makes these deluxe treats even more appealing.
I sure love the cherry and chocolate combination. My favorite desserts are and always will be cookies. They are light, don't make you overly thirsty and pack a lot of flavor.
Enjoy making them!
Cherry Florentines Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar

- Set aside to cool a bit before transferring to cooling racks.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler on low temperature. (Do not use high temperature or the chocolate will burn. Do not allow the water to touch the top
