Chocolate Florentine Cookies


You know those little recipe books you can buy in the checkout line at the grocery store? Well, I guess I bought one some time ago and tore this recipe out of it.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup unsalted butter
2 cups quick oats
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light or dark corn syrup
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup Nestlé® Toll House® Chocolate Morsels (Milk Chocolate or Semi-Sweet)

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheets with foil.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan; remove from heat and stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt. Drop by level teaspoons, about 3 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets. Spread a little with a rubber spatula to thin out. 

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely (this is crucial) on baking sheet on wire racks. Then peel foil from cookies. (The cookies WILL stick unless they are allowed to cool completely, about 30 minutes)

Meanwhile, microwave morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on Medium-High power for 1 minute. Stir until all are melted and incorporated- they will melt together. If necessary, microwave an additional 10- to 15- seconds. Stir until morsels are melted. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto flat side of half the cooled cookies. Top with remaining cookies.

Makes about 3 dozen sandwich cookies.
