Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and thoroughly. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the Florentines after baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend together the melted butter and sugar until they form a smooth mixture. This step is crucial as it incorporates air into the mixture, giving your Florentines a light texture.
  3. Next, add the vanilla extract and the salt to the mixture and stir until well combined, elevating the flavor profile of your Florentines.
  4. Gradually mix in the rolled oats, flour, shredded coconut, and chopped cranberries into your wet mixture. Fold them in gently to ensure all the dry ingredients are well coated without overmixing.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips last, as you want to preserve their shape and melt just slightly during baking for that delightful gooey texture.
  6. Using a tablespoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. The mixture will spread during baking, so proper spacing is key to avoid them sticking together.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can go from perfectly baked to overdone quickly.
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps to firm them up, making them easier to handle.
  9. Enjoy your Golden White Chocolate Cranberry Florentines with a nice cup of tea or coffee, and watch them disappear in no time!
