This playful gift tin includes three types of classic French butter cookies: thin biscuits (galettes), thick biscuits (palets) and rolled biscuits (cigarettes). Thanks to their high butter content (a whopping 22%), these crisp cookies melt in your mouth. The thin biscuits are similar to shortbread cookies but are even more buttery, the thick biscuits are light and crumbly, and the rolled biscuits are delicate and wafer-thin. Pair this gift tin with a French tea to really make an impression.
About the producer
Originally based in the La Trinité-sur-Mer region of Brittany, Biscuiterie La Trinitaine has been making French butter cookies since 1955, when founder Lucien Petit stumbled upon a delicious new invention: rolled cigarette biscuits. These days, the third generation of Petits run the family business, continuing the tradition of using the finest butter and other ingredients to make their classic French biscuits.
These were a gift for my Mom's birthday. She loves the cookies and the tin they came in!
These cookies are even better than I could have imagined. They are buttery, crispy and very flavorful. Will be ordering again.
So delicious— French perfection in a cookie: crunchy with incredible texture and a bit of a caramel undertone. I made coq au vin, and served these cookies with mandarin oranges. I felt like I was transported to France. Everyone commented on the cookies.
