Homemade Florentine Cannoli
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Combine butter, light brown sugar, and honey in a pan and heat until melted and combined.
- 2Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 3Bake the cookie mixture in thin circles until golden.
- 4Remove from oven and shape into shells while still warm and flexible; if they harden too quickly, return to the oven for a few seconds to make them pliable again.

- 6Pipe the filling into the cooled shells and dip the ends in mini chocolate chips or finely chopped pistachios.
