Florentine cookies are a type of cookie that originated in Italy and are made from ingredients such as almonds, butter, sugar, honey and flour. Usually these cookies have a crunchy and sweet texture with a distinctive almond aroma. In the Florentine Frunuts variant, dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries are added to the Florentine cookie dough.
This dried fruit gives cookies a fresher, slightly sour taste and adds a pleasant chewy texture when chewed. After baking, these Florentine cookies with added dried fruit are likely to have a more complex taste and a more varied texture. They can be enjoyed as a light snack or served with coffee or tea. For those who want to try to make it yourself, here are the ingredients and how to make it.
