Frequently Asked Questions About Florentine hazelnut cookie
What is a Florentine hazelnut cookie?
A Florentine hazelnut cookie is a thin, crisp confection made with caramelized hazelnuts. It is often finished with a layer of chocolate on one side, though recipes and toppings vary.
Are Florentine hazelnut cookies really from Florence?
Their name suggests Florence, but the origin of Florentine hazelnut cookies is disputed. The name alone does not establish that the cookies were invented in the Italian city.
What makes a Florentine hazelnut cookie different from a lace cookie?
A Florentine hazelnut cookie is a type of thin, lacy cookie, but it is defined by its caramelized nuts and often a chocolate coating. Lace cookies can be made without nuts or chocolate.
Why are Florentine hazelnut cookies so thin?
Florentine hazelnut cookies become thin because their sugary, buttery mixture spreads as it melts in the oven. Small portions and plenty of space between them help the cookies bake into separate rounds.
Should Florentine hazelnut cookies be crunchy or chewy?
Florentine hazelnut cookies are usually meant to be crisp once cooled. If they turn chewy, moisture in the air or storage in a poorly sealed container is often the cause.
Can you make Florentine hazelnut cookies with chopped hazelnuts?
Yes, chopped hazelnuts work in Florentine hazelnut cookies, but the pieces may produce a less even, more textured lace than thinly sliced nuts. Chop them finely so they distribute through the caramel mixture.
Why do Florentine hazelnut cookies have chocolate on the bottom?
Chocolate on the bottom is a common finish for Florentine hazelnut cookies, adding a rich contrast to their sweet, toasted nut flavor. Let the cookies cool fully before coating them so they keep their shape.
How do you keep Florentine hazelnut cookies crisp?
Keep Florentine hazelnut cookies crisp by letting them cool completely and storing them in an airtight container away from humidity. Adding them to the container while warm traps steam and softens them.
Can Florentine hazelnut cookies be frozen?
Yes, Florentine hazelnut cookies can be frozen in an airtight container. Thaw them at room temperature before serving; their texture may be slightly less crisp afterward, especially if they have a chocolate coating.
Can you make Florentine hazelnut cookies without chocolate?
Yes, Florentine hazelnut cookies can be served without chocolate; the coating is a popular finish, not essential to the cookie. Without it, the caramelized hazelnut flavor comes through more clearly.

What is Florentine hazelnut cookie?
A Florentine hazelnut cookie is a thin, crisp confection in the European pastry tradition, made by binding hazelnuts with caramelised sugar or syrup. Recipes vary and may include butter or cream, with chocolate sometimes added as a coating. Its lacy, nut-studded texture makes it quite different from a soft, flour-based cookie.
It is often served with coffee or tea as a small sweet, and the toasted nuts pair especially well with unsweetened drinks. The hazelnuts contribute some protein and fibre, but the caramel and nuts make this an energy-dense treat. Its rich flavour means a thin piece can be satisfying on its own; enjoy it after a meal or alongside fresh fruit for contrast.
