I had to write this review because it is not fair that there is only one review for these cookies and it is 1 star (I mean, this person is entitled to their review, but it makes these cookies look bad to shoppers on the site bc they rate at one star). Look, I don't even like cookies that much (weird, I know) but I LOVE these. These are thin, chewy, rich chocolate-caramel goodness. Somewhere between toffee and a cookie, really. They go beautifully with coffee, black or oolong tea, or a good book and a rainy day. Plus, how pretty is the name "Florentine Lace"? Are they named that because the recipe comes from Florence? Or because the lace in Florence looks like a melted gob of brown and darker brown? I hope the latter isn't true, for the sake of Florence. But it makes for a delicious cookie. I mean, I'm writing this review and thinking I will buy a tin for the holidays because my family really enjoys them. I just wish they weren't so expensive. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to raid my candy stash for something chocolaty because now I'm craving this stuff, and don't have any around. Thank you, David. Your cookies are awesome.

These aren't just pretty, they're pretty freakin' awesome... I saw these at a local store (in a long box [12oz], not a tin), & after seeing the picture on the box that showed what the cookies look like, I found it impossible to leave that store without a box of these -- given that they looked to be (& are) a marriage of some ooooooooooh so interesting layers, & in what looked like (& is) a wonderful 'texture', I just *had* to try these...
These not only taste phenomenal, but the fascinating mix of crunch-suddenly-tempered-by-the-next-layer-&-then-chocolate-making-its-way-past-the-yumtastic-top-layer-that-has-softened-in-the-mouth-to-a-more-tack-like-texture-&-tastes-incredible-doing-a-tango-with-the-chocolate results in an experience that had me thinking a combination of, "are you kidding me?!" -and- "where have you been all my life?!" -- how on earth these layers do the magical traversal of textures that they do is perhaps the 8th Wonder of the World -- & all while facilitating a decadent mingling of chocolate & the omg-what-is-it-that-is-combining-to-make-this-magic-happen ingredients (if I didn't know better, I'd think that the manufacturer was 'showing off' ;) ).
Well, I wonder no more (though I remain very impressed) -- fascinatingly, & per the ingredient list, part of the 'magic' contributing to the end product's unique form of 'wow' are (crushed, obviously, though possibly ~pulverized into a powder, prior to incorporating into the mix) *CASHEWS* -- the 3rd ingredient listed, after sugar & wheat flour. Additionally, there is some vanilla, honey, & cinnamon (though I don't specifically taste cinnamon, I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the can't-put-a-finger-on-it-something that is contributing to the interesting taste of the florentine aspect covering the chocolate.
A great quality associated with these cookies is that they hold up after being dunked in a hot liquid (as versus many other cookies, which would crumble or otherwise break apart [& additionally, many cookies would absorb so much of the liquid that the original taste of the cookie would be 'lost' -- which doesn't happen when dunking these Chocolate Florentine Lace cookies in a hot liquid (I tried them with some hot chocolate, & it felt like a luxury to be able to not only dunk them for as long as I did, but to dip them in almost all the way, & not have them either fall apart or melt away from the non-dunked portion)]).
Lastly, I happened to have learned that it is possible to alter the original crunch factor, such that it becomes a rather interesting (& frankly, even better, for my taste) 'compressive-crunch' (a kind of tempered crunch, & one that takes on a more 'tack-like' aspect, out of the gate) -- after a late night drive back from visiting family, & accidentally leaving an unopened box of these in the car overnight -- & then during the nearly 90 degree next day -- well, after bringing them back inside, & giving them time to acclimate to ambient indoor temperature (& re-solidify whatever had been a bit melted) -- voila! -- Chocolate Florentine Lace 'Redux' (or, as I now think of it, 'Chocolate Florentine Lace Stackers' -- the heat-&-then-melt-a-little-&-then-cool cycle resulted in the individual stacks of cookies annealing to one another slightly, which was interesting to see, but which I remedied quickly, prior to tasting them, & then finding them to be even *more* appealing than their original form -- somehow, the slight melt & then re-solidification rendered the perfect bit of 'compressive-crunch' that ended up making these downright addictive to me).
These are gorgeous cookies, with a terrific taste, a fascinating 'crunch factor', & the ability to withstand being dunked in hot liquid -- plus, to boot, they still taste great after being accidentally left in a car while a nearly 90-degree day ends up melting aspects a bit (& yes, they still *looked* like the beautiful florentine confectionary magic that they looked like prior to their 'heat assault' [thereby earning the title 'Bionic Cookie' ;) ]). So, without having intended to do so, I seem to have done a form of inadvertent 'extreme temperature trial', which tested (albeit unintentionally) the 'viability' of these cookies in a high temperature environment -- & if they could speak, they would seem to have said, ~'eh, whatever...' (along with a shrug of their shoulders [if cookies had shoulders, that is ;) ]).
They're fantastic!
(It would seem to be a given that these would hold up if exposed to an extremely cold environment, but if someone out there would like to send a tin to one of the research stations in Antarctica, & report back, that'd be great... ;) )

 An Insult to My Mouth!Mar 29, 2007
By Colleen Cabrinha
This cookie was a huge disapointment! The taste was horrible! I can't even describe my experience of eating just one bite in this appropriately deserved review...$29.00 for a tin of tasteless crap! Never again will I purchase anything from David's Cookies for fear of encountering another wasted purchase of disgraceful cookies. In the trash they went!!!!!!!
