🍪 Florentine Lace Cookies

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, sugar, and honey until smooth and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in flour, salt, and vanilla extract.
3. Fold in sliced almonds, making sure they are evenly coated with the buttery mixture.
4. Drop teaspoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them well (they spread thin).
5. Bake 8–10 minutes, until golden brown and lacy. Watch carefully — they can burn quickly!
6. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Optional: Dip or drizzle with melted chocolate once cooled.

💡 Tips

• Use thinly sliced almonds for a delicate lace effect.
• Don’t overcrowd the cookies — they spread a lot while baking.
• For extra elegance, drizzle a little white chocolate over dark chocolate-dipped Florentines.

If you want, I can also give you a quick microwave version for tiny batches — still crispy and buttery but ready in minutes!
