ALMOND FLORENTINES by Jaclyn @ Tenthousandthspoon (a guest post) - The Not So Creative Cook
I am glad to be back for another Fiesta Friday. I am not bringing something I made; I am bringing something I stole from someone else. Sshhhh! Don’t tell anyone. Nah! Jut kidding. 😀 Don’t panic; I still have something for you – not only food, but a new friend as well. Meet Jaclyn – (more of her at the end of this post) Hello! I am Jaclyn from Tenthousandthspoon. Jhuls asked me to guest post and so here I am. Hehe. I met her through Instagram and have always been amazed by her cooking and baking skills. As I am really more of a photographer than a cook, I hope I don’t embarrass myself too much today. Haha. I made Almond Florentines using a recipe I adapted from Seasons and Suppers. Compared to other recipes that required butter and flour, this one just had egg whites and powdered sugar. It resulted in a very light and crisp cookie that is just too addictive for words. It’s fantastic on its own but adding that touch of melted dark chocolate to its base, just skyrockets it to perfection. I hope you’d enjoy them as much as we did. When I started at Instagram, Jaclyn was one of the first people I followed. I fell in love when I saw her photos – awesome! If I am not mistaken, she had over 3K followers when I started following her – that was June 2013. And now? Well, see it for yourself. One of the funny things I could not forget about Jaclyn is – she said she usually posts breakfast foods as she does her thing when her kids (Zoe and Sage – cute names, yes?) are still asleep. One day, one of her kids woke up and I think she saw Jac taking photos in the morning and asked what she’s (Jac) doing… Jac said to her kid to go back to sleep as she was just dreaming. Hahaha! I hope I said the story right, Jac. If not, please feel free to correct me on the comment below. Thank you so much for this, Jac. I am so honored to have you as my guest. Jaclyn also blogs from Tenthousandthspoon. I hope everyone say ‘Hello’ to Jac – she’s friendly, she won’t bite you. 😀 Also, check out these two previous guest post – Ultimate Chocolate Cake by Joice @ County Baker Mom Frangipane by Sarah @Sarah’s Little Kitchen Thank you, Angie.
