After six years in beautiful Lake Arrowhead, we were ready to come back down the mountain to city life once again. No more snow. No more winding mountain road. No more thick fog on that winding mountain road. So here we are again, living in the Los Angeles area with its lovely Southern California weather. Not to mention, many new bakeries to explore!
While I haven't baked anything new lately, sticking to my old favorites instead, I have discovered a new favorite cookie. Florentines with Almonds! To my delight this thin, crispy, chocolate-dipped cookie is baked to perfection at any Victor Benes Bakery located at your local Gelson's Market!
While I may try my hand at this delicate cookie, for now I just pick up a small box of these crunchy delights to have with my morning coffee!
