Looking for an easy and delicious cookie? Try these low carb Florentines that will please anyone who ever liked chocolate and orange together!

As I currently have a little time, I had been browsing on the web last week. Trying to get new, intriguing thoughts, inspiring meals that I’ve never tested before, to impress my family with. Searching for a long time yet couldn’t find lots of interesting stuff. Just before I wanted to give up on it, I ran across this scrumptious and simple treat by chance on Suncakemom. The dessert seemed so delightful on its photos, it called for quick actions.

It had been not difficult to imagine how it’s made, how it tastes and how much my husband will enjoy it. Actually, it is extremely easy to impress the man when it comes to puddings. Yes, I am a blessed one. Or perhaps he is.Anyways, I went to the blog and followed the precise instuctions that have been coupled with nice images of the task. It really makes life much simpler. I could suppose it is a slight inconvenience to take photos in the midst of baking in the kitchen as you most often have gross hands so I sincerely appreciate the time and effort she put in to make this post and recipe easily implemented.

That being said I am empowered presenting my very own recipe in a similar fashion. Thanks for the concept.

I had been fine tuning the main formula to make it for the taste of my loved ones. I have to mention that it was an incredible success. They loved the flavor, the overall look and enjoyed getting a delicacy like this in the midst of a stressful week. They ultimately asked for lots more, many more. So the next time I am not going to commit the same mistake. I’m gonna twin the quantity .

The Florentines Cookies Recipe is from SunCakeMom

Grind half of the almonds finely and the other half coarsely.

Put butter and cream in a saucepan to heat it up with the vanilla extract and sweetener.

Pour almond and orange zest and mix them with the other ingredients in the saucepan on low heat.

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.

Prepare tray with baking paper.

With a spoon put walnut size balls on the tray.

Flatten them with a fork.

Put the tray with the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 – 15 minutes (depending on the oven).

Take them out as soon as it starts to get a golden brown color.

Place cookies on a cooling rack to cool down with the help of a sharp flat tool. Right now the cookies are a bit brittle so mind them with care. They are supposed to hold together better over time and under some chocolate.

Melt chocolate.

Pour chocolate on top of the cookies.

Keep them in a cool place until chocolate becomes solid again.
