Almond Florentines filled with Gingerbread Cookie Butter

Almond Florentines filled with Gingerbread Cookie Butter

I love to make almond florentines and sandwich two cookies together with Nutella! But I saw this unusual “cookie butter” at Trader Joe’s and thought I’d try it with this cookie. It has the consistency of smooth peanut butter, a little firmer, and the taste of gingerbread. It’s really delicious! In this cookie, I think the filling was masked by the flavor of the florentine alone. But between two sugar cookies it would have been perfect. For this cookie, I think I’ll stick with Nutella or a homemade buttercream! The cookie recipe is in my cookbook 🙂

My twist on homemade Girl Scout Samoas!

I started with a classic macaroon recipe and a sugar cookie recipe. I made sure the sugar cookie dough was very cold so that I could cut thin slices as the base for my cookie. Then I topped the cookie with a macaroon, flattened it and then using a melon baller, I removed the center. I baked them 80% of the way, then filled the center with caramel (this time I cheated and didn’t make my own, I used the caramel dip that we find in the produce section of the supermarket) and finished baking until they were light golden brown. I melted dipping chocolate, dipped the cookie bottom into chocolate and let it set up. Then with my homemade ganache, I drizzled the top. Voila! Not bad at all!

I thought I would post a blueberry recipe today since I just found a link to my blog from WildBlueberryHealthBlog.com today. They named me their #5 food blogger for us foodies infatuated with Maine!

White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Oatmeal Cookie

Makes about 36

Ingredients

1 stick butter, softened

¾ cups sour cream

1/3 cup sugar

¾ cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup medium cut oats (not quick cooking)

2 cups flour

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup fresh Maine blueberries (if using frozen, allow to thaw and drain completely; or you can use non-Maine blueberries if you have to)

Preheat oven to 350

Directions

In mixing bowl combine butter, sour cream and sugars in mix on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs and mix until smooth.

Add baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and salt to mixture and combine.

Fold in oats, then flour and mix until just blended. Fold in white chocolate chips.

Drop onto parchment or silicone lined baking sheet by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed and barely dry to the touch. Try not to allow the cookie to brown.

These are actually soft enough to make in small muffin tins.

1/3 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 2/3 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups white chocolate chips

1 cup shredded coconut

3/4 cups macadamia nuts (or pecans)

Combine flour., baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In mixing bowl, combine sugars, vanilla and butter and mix on medium speed until blended. Add egg and continue until smooth. Fold in coconut, flour mixture, then nuts, white chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly.

Scoop out onto parchment or silicone lined baking sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes until just lightly browned. For chewy cookies, bake 9-10 minutes, for crispy cookies bake 12-13 minutes.

After 96 of my photographs, 155 pages and 90 recipes, I am FINALLY submitting my manuscript tomorrow, November 7, 2010 !!!

The Art of Breakfast is due out June 2011. A little bit of my story as an innkeeper and my love of cooking, combined with my background in art and photography will hopefully make this a coffee table cookbook you’ll all love reading as much as I’ve loved creating it! There will be something for all tastes, including several gluten-free and vegetarian options.
