Breton Cookies

6 servings

35 minutes

The 'Breton' cookie is an exquisite representative of French pastry, rooted in Brittany, a region known for its creamy flavors. Its texture is tender and crumbly, while the taste is deep and rich due to the generous use of butter and egg yolks. A light sweetness is complemented by subtle vanilla notes, creating a harmony of flavors. A distinctive feature of its preparation is the glaze made from yolk and milk, giving the cookie a golden crust and allowing for patterns on the surface. This treat is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a cozy evening with a favorite book.
