Oui Oui to These French Sable Cookies
La Mere Poulard puts a generous amount of butter in these biscuits or cookies.
BUTTER!
I had to type that in bold all caps — with an exclamation mark — just to emphasize how incredibly buttery tasting these cookies are.
La Mere Poulard cookies were first baked in 1888 by Annette Poulard, the local baker’s wife in Mont Saint-Michel, France at the inn she opened. La Mere Poulard pays homage to those original cookies with its own versions, made with no preservatives or GMOs. Produced in France for 15 years, they are now readily available in the United States.
The cookies are made with eggs from free-range hens and sugar from beets. It’s not surprising that after the first ingredient listed of wheat flour, comes butter. Because these cookies taste unabashedly of sweet, creamy butter.
