Dark Chocolate Florentine Cookies
It is that time of year-all kinds of cookies and goodies are everywhere. Making homemade is always better and it doesn’t have to be difficult. I won’t lie…these take a little time but they are not difficult and are so worth it!! The cookie is crispy and delicious on its own, but add the dark chocolate and it is amazing!! These are great to give to neighbors, take to a party, or eat yourself at home.

YUM, these look so good! I love dark chocolate 🙂
These look so good! Of course, anything involving chocolate looks great to me. Wishing it didn’t.:)
I’ve never made Florentine cookies before but the ingredients and directions seem simple enough. I’ll definitely have to give these a try. They’re absolutely beautiful, especially dipped in chocolate. I’d like to invite you to share your recipe on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.

Wow, these look incredible! I’m not a dark chocolate lover though, but I’m sure I could easily substitute the regular cholcate chips in this recipe. I’m trying it soon!
Of course you can substitute any chocolate – milk, semi-sweet. You just can’t go wrong when it comes to chocolate!
These are one of the first desserts I made when I started blogging! They look great 🙂
Shut up! These are AWESOME. Baby shower…genius. Please draw my name! Blessings, Diane
