Breton cookies are a classic European treat from Brittany, France, known for its buttery pastries. Crispy and crumbly with a rich creamy flavor and subtle caramel notes, they melt in your mouth. Egg yolks add tenderness to the dough while butter adds richness. Patterns drawn with a toothpick give the cookies a unique character. They pair perfectly with morning coffee or afternoon tea.
