How to Make Florentine Italian Milk Chocolate Filled Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (120g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (60ml) light corn syrup, 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie. They will spread significantly!
  6. Using a spatula, gently flatten each drop into a flat, round shape.
  7. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures vary.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets for about 15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the filling: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine 8 ounces (227g) milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  11. Once the cookies and chocolate filling are completely cool, spread a thin layer of chocolate onto the flat, shiny side of each cookie.
  12. Top with another cookie of equal size, chocolate side down, and gently press to seal.
  13. Allow the assembled cookies to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
