Florentine cookies are really delicate and delicious cookies that look so good when they come out of the oven. Most are also covered in chocolate, but it’s a little hard to get it just right unless you’re an advanced baker, but these Florentine cookies might be on the simple side, but they’re still incredibly yummy!
