Directions

PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Line baking sheets with foil.

MELT butter in medium saucepan; remove from heat. Stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla extract and salt; mix well. Drop by level teaspoons, about 3 inches apart, onto foil-lined baking sheets. Spread thinly with rubber spatula.

BAKE for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets on wire racks. Peel foil from cookies.

MICROWAVE morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Spread thin layer of melted chocolate onto flat side of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to make sandwiches.

Remember to follow baking instructions before consuming.

Tips for making cookies

Instead of spreading the dough with a spatula, I place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough and press down with a glass to flatten it. I also lightly spray the aluminum foil with nonstick spray(and spread it with a paper towel) and don't wait until the cookie is totally cold before taking off the cookie sheet. This enables me to use the foil over again. I made these for Christmas again, and didn't have any issues at all. Everyone loves them.

Chocolate Florentine Cookies

These were so good and so easy to make. The first batch were big I didn't know they would spread like they did, but that was just as good I used them for a gift and every one raved..

My New Favorite Cookie

This has to be the best cookie ever. It's so diverse. I like to make them with peanut butter morsels or dark chocolate morsels too!.
