Lacy Almond Florentines

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat).

2. 2

   Place the almonds in a food processor; alternate between pulsing and running at full speed every few seconds until they are finely chopped and crumb-like. Be careful not to process too much; you do not want them too fine or pasty. You can chop the almonds by hand if you prefer, but it will take much longer.

3. 3

   Combine the butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir a few times and cook until melted and dissolved. Bring to a boil, then carefully take it off the heat.

4. 4

   Add the vanilla extract, salt, and flour, and whisk until smooth. Add the chopped almonds and use a spatula to mix until everything is combined.

5. 5

   Drop eight evenly sized, rounded spoonfuls of batter (each about 2 teaspoons, or 15 grams) onto the prepared sheet. Adjust the cookie shapes and ensure they are evenly spaced.

6. 6

   Place the sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and slightly darker around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and slide the silicone liner off the baking sheet directly onto the countertop. Let sit until cool and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then gently peel the cookies off the liner. Repeat to bake the remaining batches.

8. 8

   Spread melted chocolate over the flat side of one cookie. Place a second cookie, flat-side down, on top to make a sandwich and press very gently to seal. Repeat to form the remaining cookies. Let sit until the chocolate has firmed up, about 30 minutes.
