florentines

Nutty caramel wafers

Florentines are thin, crisp cookies made with nuts, candied fruit, and honey, typically coated on one side with chocolate.

The name reflects their Italian origins, though they're now associated more with French and British baking traditions than with Florence itself: She arranged the florentines on a plate for the tea service. (Capitalized Florentines refers to people from Florence.)
