Bordeaux Cookies

For the February month’s International Food Challenge, Sara suggested us some recipes from the Bordeaux city from France. Taking a little introduction from Sara’s bit – “Bordeaux is a port city on the Garonne River in southwest France. The historic part of the city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as “an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble” of the 18th century. Bordeaux is also an upscale place- a city for luxury shopping, drinking, and eating. It sits in the center of the world famous wine region that bears its name and thus tourists come here come to eat, drink, experience wine, and be merry.”

She shared with us three recipes in which the Canneles De Bordeaux has alcohol in it and the Strawberry Mango Salad had Mango in it, which is unfortunately not in season. The only option left were these buttery cookies, which I first hesitated but since I love the caramely taste of brown sugar, went ahead and made half the batch. The B and the kids loved it so much that they were cross with me for making a tiny batch. I promised them that I would make them again in the near future… 🙂
