MY FORKING THOUGHTS on the Maybe Martha Stewart’s Honey Florentines Recipe?

I came across this cookie recipe on Pinterest. It sounded too easy to be true. So I did a little research. I can’t find this exact recipe on the Martha Steward website so I don’t know if it is truly her recipe but I can tell you several bloggers credit her for this recipe. Since it’s so easy and has so few ingredients I gave it a try. This recipe makes around 12 cookies I got 16 out of mine.

MY FORKING thoughts may differ from your FORKING thoughts on these cookies. They look interesting but I HATE THEM and have to throw them out. They smell good. They smell exactly like the chestnut honey I used to make them. They taste like hard caramel that sticks to your teeth. They stick to your teeth and I think that is gross. I was going to drizzle them with chocolate…..but won’t now because they are in the trash.

Ingredients for 12-16 cookies

2 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons light brown sugar

1 + 1/2 Tablespoon honey

2 Tablespoons flour

pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter, sugar, and honey together. Add the flour and salt.

Do 1/2 teaspoons on parchment or silicon mat.

Bake until golden (about 6 minutes.)

I didn’t space them enough and a few stuck together. I tried a small end that broke off.

I don’t care for them. But people who love hard caramels might like them.

I showed them to my dogs.

Don’t worry I didn’t give my dogs any. I don’t want them to damage their teeth.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on the Maybe Martha Stewart’s Honey Florentines recipe.

I do note that YOUR FORKING THOUGHTS may indeed differ.

The Forking Truth

The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival 2023

The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival was held at Craig Ranch Park in NORTH LAS VEGAS Nevada October 27-29TH 2023. Besides TACOS there were all kinds of things like a car show, carnival rides, margaritas, eating contests, a chihuahua beauty contest, craft venders and MORE! (If you were there the right day and right time)

We tried ………

An award wining mango habanero taco and a bulgogi beef taco from El Chino.

Both tacos are tasty but the spicy chicken taco is the one to get here….It really developed with lots of delicious flavors.

Next we try

the chicken and rib eye tacos from 911 Tacos & Beer.

Both tacos had ingredients in them that wasn’t in their description on their sign…..But still both are tasty and flavorful with tender fillings.

We also tried El Fuego Tacos.

We tried an asada and a chicken taco. These ran extra salty today. I can’t eat either taco.

Moving on

FINALLY fish tacos

From Ole Manny’s Seafood Shack we tried a shrimp and a fish taco and their hot habanero salsa.

Both are good…..The taco shells are the tastiest so far on these. The fish is fried perfect and seems free of oil….It’s tricky figuring out on how much salsa to use here because the salsa is extra strong but the right amount of drops makes it very good.

Going to fit in one more taco.

We tried a chipotle chicken and a birria taco from Slanging Tacos.

These both have extra tasty shells with lots of flavor to them….These both also are larger tacos with lots of filling…… The chicken taco is very tasty but it’s the tasty sauce and tasty shell that is delicious…..The chicken needs those flavors to be good. The birria is good but you have to buy the consume separately.

That was what we tried at The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival
