Made these today: they came out beautiful. I'll bring some as a gift on Christmas Eve, if I don't accidentally eat them first. Thanks, Chef!! (Top tip for anyone who wants to make them: keep an eye on their colour from eight minutes into the bake. They can go from perfect to burned in less than 30 seconds.)

swap the almonds for flaked oats, and you'll have something that closely resembles one of my childhood favorite cookies, the scandinavian "havreflarn". Delicious, i tell you!

[@evanpritchard927]

I’m allergic to tree nuts, so substituting oats is a good thing to know. Thanks!

I knew they looked familiar!

What Chef John is good for: giving us entertaining videos featuring delicious, easy to follow recipes What Chef John is also good for: making me realize I haven't listened to Without Me by Eminem in a very long time.

[@calvinquesnel198]

I love your videos because you talk us through the process. I hate those videos that play music and are non vocal !

[@userbosco]

My bride just pulled the first batch out of the oven! They are AMAZING!!! She made them with gluten free all purpose flour, and absolutely no problemo! Thanks Chef J!

[@anderspedersen7488]

Chopped bitter orange is a worthwhile addition to the dough!

[@dominiquew.8181]

They are perfect!! I made them several times,especially! The best cookies ever thank you John💕🇺🇸

[@combatgirl38]

This was posted the day after my 48th birthday and I consider it to be the perfect gift! In the last few months my upstairs neighbor has collectively given me about 10 pounds of almonds that he no longer wanted. I tried to find out what he found distasteful about them when they came from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods etc. as they taste Just as they're supposed to. I never did find out and have been burdened with trying to find something to do with the dang things before I forget about them all together and their oils turn. This Is PERFECT!!! These are an absolute top favorite and usually make mine with oatmeal because I can't ever afford the high cost of almonds. I have so many now that I'm going to try both honey And corn syrup AND try a half and half for a more delicate flavor. Your description of the honey triggered the thought of possibly adding a 3rd batch using half molasses using the same neighbor's contribution... I need to spend a little more time on the science behind that one before sacrificing beautiful butter and nuts to a possible inedible failure. Thank you for the Birthday Gift, Chef John!

[@CaseNumber00]

I like the recipes for these cookies with orange zest in them. It add a wonderful bit of floral finish to the bite and aftertaste.

[@lisamac8174]

Thank you !! I received these as a gift one year - tried to get the recipe for years !!!! Thank you !

[@abh4316]

I made them the minute I saw the video. Mine Spread it all around the pan creating one uniformed Continent. I had to use a cookie cutter while hot to segregate and then push the cookie cutter again to split the caramelized Florentine. I think I pulsed the almond to fine. Even more I use Velroh duch process Cocoa to make the chocolate spread because I didn’t have 75% chocolate bar. the ganache became a sauce that it did not harden at all. The taste is beyond incredible. I swiped them clean again as used a chocolate melted bar. I’m crossing fingers. Without the chocolate, the more it burns and darkens, the beater the taste. The honey ... spot on.

[@pepperpepperpepper]

I made this twice already! Not very difficult to make, doesn't require heavy cream, which I don't have, and so very delicious. Thx!

[@doodleslim1408]

I made these today and they turned out perfect.

[@Oneshotwonder002]

Made these today, first time, forgot to eat dinner I got so busy. WATCH THEM, don't go by baking temp. I had to do 8 minutes instead of the 10-12, size similar, am at high elevation. First baking i've done in years and it came out DELICIOUS (after 2nd batch) worth the time every so often, and a great party cookie

[@karenroe5685]

I made lace cookies once by accident I was making raisin oatmeal cookies and forgot the flour. VERY PRETTY!!!

[@jeanseverson6631]

Made them this morning...they spread like crazy! 8 on a silpat was 4 too many, so I'm baking 4 at a time. Very thin, lacy and delicious! But my first batch looked like the Blob! All melted together.

[@dominiquew.8181]

I used 1 tea spoon and still too big . Will make with less. They turned out delicious. They bake really fast and have to be in the middle of the oven or they burn :(

[@TheHarryChanne1]

Lyles golden syrup would be another fine choice here - a nice, subtle, light caramel taste.

[@surquhart64]

Yep. Dansukker is the standard brand here in Sweden, but I'm sure any golden syrup will be lovely. It's a generally pretty awesome ingredient in cookies tbh.

[@Getpojke]

Look lovely and a lot more delicate that the ones we tend to do here in the UK. Ours tend to be slightly thicker and will often have some buigger chunks or whole nuts in there along with some dried fruit like raisins, pieces of glacé cherries, candied ginger & peel & if we're really good glacé angelica. This tends to make them slighlty chewier, though I like the "snap" of yours.
