Florentines

First time I made these. Nutty and crunchy, very thin and elegant. The smell is increadible, even before baking:)

140gr almonds
3tb.s. flour
2tb.s. zest of orange
some salt
apr.150gr sugar
2tb.s. cream
2 tb.s. light corn syrup/honey, sugar syrup
5tb.s. butter
vanilla
apr.40gr chocolate for decoration

Oven 165-170C. Stir together nuts, salt, flour, zest. Nuts should be processed in blender until fine.
In a small pan put sugar, cream, syrup and butter and heat it until sugar is dissolved and keep it for 1 minute.
Take away, add vanilla and mix with dry ingredients. Let it cool a bit, for several minutes.
Scoop with a tea spoon (for about 7cm cookie) the dough and roll into a ball. Place them apart from each other on paper.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, cookies will become flat and thin with holes, bit brownish. Let them cool down a bit (as they will be quite flexible in the beginning) and place them on a rack to harden.
Drizzle chocolate on top (first melt the chocolate) as desired.
You get apr. 24 cookies.
