Equipment

  • oven
  • plastic wrap
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and dark brown sugar until well combined.
  • Add in the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Once the dough has formed, place it on a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a log about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Wrap the dough tightly with the plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to chill.
  • Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and slice into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheet and serving.

Notes

Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Bordeaux cookies:
• Make sure to use softened butter and not melted butter. Melted butter will cause the cookies to spread too much while baking.
• Use a cookie scoop to make sure all of the cookies are the same size.
• Be sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
• Do not over bake the cookies or they will be too crunchy.
• Let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
