- Melt the butter completely but allow it to cool slightly before mixing to prevent cooking the egg whites.
- Spread the batter thinly on the baking sheet to achieve the characteristic lace-like appearance.
- Heat the dark chocolate gently and use a spoon or piping bag for an even drizzle over the cookies once they are baked and cooled.
- Store the Florentines in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
