To me, these cookies are very much associated with cookies left for Santa Claus 🙂 They look so nice and cute in a plate or bowl… I immediately want to pour myself a glass of milk, get cozy with a blanket, put a cookie plate next to me and watch those beautiful Christmas movies. And…

Florentinai su kondensuotu pienu ir kukurūzų dribsniais/Florentines with condensed milk and cornflakes
Lipnūs, traškūs, gražūs, skanūs – tokie florentinai su kondensuotu pienu ir kukurūzų dribsniais. Manieji florentinai storiuliukai, nėra labai plokšti, bet šį kartą tokių norėjau. Sekantį kartą bandysiu kepti parduotuvinius, tikruosius – plokščius ir kietus. Florentinų pagaminimas nėra labai sunkus, o ir rezultatas tikrai šaunus. Tokius sausainius gražiai įpakavus galima drąsiai dovanoti kaip dovaną Šv. Kalėdų…
