Milk Chocolate Florentine Cookies

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter, frozen

2 cups quick/instant oats

1 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with foil.

2. Melt butter in medium saucepan between medium and low heat. Remove from heat.

3. Stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well. Drop by level teaspoons about 3 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Spread thinly with a rubber spatula.

4. Bake for 6-9 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely on baking sheets on wire racks. Peel foil from cookies.

5. Microwave chocolate chips in a medium, uncovered microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir. If a few of the chips are not fully melted, microwave at additional 10 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted.

6. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto flat side of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.

Comments:

This delicious, light cookies are an absolute delicacy. They're perfect with a warm mug of coco or coffee, or even a cold glass of milk. In the original recipe, they're suppose to be very thin, but in mine I made them thicker because that's the way my family prefers them.
