How to Make Hazelnut Florentines

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1 tablespoon milk until sugar is dissolved.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (140g) finely chopped hazelnuts and 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. Drop scant teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 3-5 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies have a lacy appearance.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If cookies are soft, return to oven for another minute.
  10. Once cooled, melt your choice of chocolate and drizzle over the cookies.
