Authentic French Buttery Cookies (Petits Beurre)

Now that everyone is back to School, I thought I would share an Authentic French Afternoon Treat!

I have made many attempts to reproduce the copycat recipe from the Famous French Cookies “Les Petits Beurres” but none of them tasted as they should be. I am so happy I have found the right one from Lolo (@lolotambouille). Of course, you can find Lauren’s recipe right HERE!

Enjoy & Bon Appetit!

As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 3 1/3 tbsp (50 g) Bottled Water
• ▢ 7 tbsp (100 g) Butter (1/2 Salted + 1/2 Unsalted)
• ▢ 1/2 cup (100 g) Sugar (Bakers Sugar)
• ▢ 2 tbsp (25 g) vanilla sugar
• ▢ 2 cups (250 g) Flour (Sifted)
• ▢ 3/4 tsp (3 g) baking powder

Instructions

 

• Place the Water, Butter, Sugar and Vanilla Sugar in a small sauce pan and heat on medium. Let it boil and remove from heat once the butter has melted. Let the syrup cool down in a cold water bath, mixing time to time (About 20 minutes). Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together. Make a small well.
• Pour the syrup and gently fold with your spatula until almost combined.
• Scrape the dough out onto the Roul'Pat™ and fold it until the ball holds together. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours.
• Preheat oven at 350F/180C.
• Place your Silpain® on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
• Roll out the cookie dough onto the Roul'Pat™. Then, using your cookie cutters, cut your cookies and place them on your Silpain®.
• Bake for 12 minutes at 350F/180C, until golden brown around the edge, top must stay the same color. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 10min).
• Once your Aunthentic French Buttery Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely directly on your Perforated Baking Sheet. Then, slide them onto a serving plate. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
• N.B. You can also store your cookies in an air tight container for a few days.
