Lemon Cranberry FlorentinesIsabelle Bonjean

These thin, elegant cookies get their flavor from dried cranberries and homemade candied lemon peel. Because the lemon peel needs to dry overnight, be sure to begin this recipe one day ahead.

Baker's choice:

Feel free to use thinly sliced candied lemon peel (instead of finely chopped) to garnish the cookies.
