FLORENTINES - CHOCOLATE ALMOND LACE COOKIES
Most people are in awe of these light, lacy cookies that you can get at the bakery, but assume are too difficult and delicate to make at home. Nonsense. These are the easiest thing to make and you can opt to take the partially cooled cookies and wrap them around the handle of a wooden spoon to create a tube. The tubes can be enjoyed as is, dipped partially in melted chocolate or filled with a whipped cream mixture to make a funky little cannoli confection.
