Florentine Cookie Recipe with Städter Baking Pan
Florentine cookies are extremely easy to do, but it also highly sought after during Chinese New Year. They are sweet, and nutty, who doesn’t love it?
For those who couldn’t find florentine powder (most recipes uses that), you came to the right place! I know not everyone has access to that ingredient, but so I am going to show you how you can make from scratch with a few simple ingredients that you properly should even have right now in your kitchen.
I used Städter’s Florentine Baking Pan for this recipe. Each mould is nicely round with a small depression for you to spread out your nuts nicely for baking. The non-stick baking pan is easy to use and creates really pretty circular florentine cookies! If you are interested you can check out their products on LAZADA. For CNY 2021, they are actually having a promotion right now. Click here to know more (Malaysians click here instead).
I like my florentine to be on the darker side because the sugar in the mixture gets to caramelize a bit more during baking, giving you a more aromatic cookie. However, you may bake slightly shorter if you prefer the conventional colour. Oh yea! Feel free to add other types of nuts or ingredients you like! Just make sure that the ingredients you used are mostly flat.
