Chocolate Florentine Cookies- these crisp, brittle cookie sandwiches have a yummy chocolate filling. They look difficult to make but are so easy.

 
The cookies have a lace appearance once they are baked and the easy chocolate filling fills up the holes.
The batter is a delicious mix of quick-cooking oats, sugar, flour, light corn syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. The oats give the cookies a wonderful chewy texture. The filling is simply melted chocolate chips. Doesn’t get any easier than that!
Typically Florentines have chopped nuts, usually almonds, but this recipe is nut-free. They make a great holiday cookie, but are a popular treat no matter what time of year.

 
Chocolate Florentine Cookies Recipe Tips:
Only use a small amount of dough for each cookie. They really spread out as they bake and you want them really thin. When the cookies bake, they don’t always keep a perfect circular shape. Immediately after removing from the oven, use a rubber spatula to push in any areas that look misshapen. As they cool, they firm up quickly, so don’t dilly dally.
Parchment paper or a silpat can be used instead of aluminum foil.
For a different flavor, try using Nutella instead of melted chocolate.
Cookies will keep for 3 to 4 days at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container or ziptop bags.
