FlorentinesRomulo Yanes

You get a very big bang for remarkably little work in this fabulous pairing of chocolate and orange. These candy-like cookies are mostly fruit, nuts, and chocolate, with just a bit of flour to hold them together. Easy, elegant, and irresistible, they keep very well before they are iced. Once you add the chocolate glaze, be sure to refrigerate them.

Recipe Notes

1. Use a small offset spatula to spread the dough into thin rounds on the baking sheet.
2. Use 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted, for the glaze.
