Ruby-Flecked Florentines

Description:
Isa sa maraming inaambisyunan kong lutuin. Nakita ko ito sa Wheatberry bakeshop. Sobrang mahal! Siguro sa darating na Valentine's day, mapapatikim ko na ito sa inyo.

Ingredients:
2 cups sliced almond, divided
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
1/2 cup golden syrup or light-colored corn syrup
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking liner (SIlpat) or generously grease them. Set aside.

Process 1/2 cup of the almonds in a bender or food processor fitted with a metal blade until they are finely ground. Melt the butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add, 1 at a time, the sugar, cranberries, raisins, orange peel, syrup, and flour, stirring after each addition. Stir in the ground and sliced almonds.

Using 1 tablespoon dough per cookie, roll mixture into balls. Dough will be sticky; moistened hands help. Place 3 inches apart on cokkie sheets; cookies will spread.Bake 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on sheets 10 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days (on humid days. cookies may lose their crispness when stored in room temperature). Or store in freezer up to 1 month.
