Bordeaux cookies are a delicious and unique cookie recipe that has been around for decades. They are a classic French cookie that is made from a combination of all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, butter.
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.
