These Florentines are a delicious treat that can be used for any event. They are gluten- and dairy-free. Your family and friends will love how crisp they are and how sweet and nutty they taste. Plus, they're simple to make and don't take much time.
Ingredients: 1 cup sliced almonds. 1/4 cup gluten-free flour such as gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour. 1/3 cup granulated sugar. 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter. 2 tablespoons honey. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips optional, for drizzling.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced almonds, gluten-free flour, and granulated sugar. In a small saucepan, melt dairy-free butter and honey over low heat, then stir in vanilla extract and almond extract. Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, flatten and shape each spoonful into a thin, round disc. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the florentines to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Optional: Melt dairy-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled florentines. Let the chocolate set before serving.
