Florentine Cookies, Which Probably Aren’t From Florence

The name of these cookies is linked to one of the most persistent misconceptions in European pastry-making.

The City That Knows Nothing About Them

Despite their name, these cookies are not considered traditional in Florence itself—they are rarely baked there, and they do not appear on lists of Tuscan sweets. Instead, it has long been firmly established in France, Austria, and Germany.

The most common explanation for the name stems from a 17th–18th-century trend: at that time, anything refined in European confectionery was commonly referred to as “Italian,” and Florence was considered the epitome of refinement. According to another version, the cookie was invented for the French court, which was linked by marriage to the Florentine Medici family.

A Recipe Without Dough

Technically, Florentine cookies aren’t really cookies at all: the classic recipe contains almost no flour. The base consists of caramelized sugar, cream, and honey, to which almonds and candied fruit are added; the mixture sets into a thin layer.

This is precisely why it’s so delicate and rich—in essence, it’s closer to praline than to baked goods. And that’s exactly why the underside of Florentine cookies is traditionally coated with chocolate: without it, the thin caramel layer breaks easily.
