They are round, golden, sometimes soft in the center, sometimes crispy around the edges... Cookies are a staple in Parisian bakeries and coffee shops, ranging from classic recipes to bold creations, made with care and creativity. A far cry from industrial versions, the new generation of cookies are homemade, generous, and made with quality ingredients.
Recipes vary depending on location and influences: classic dark chocolate cookies, roasted hazelnut cookies, peanut butter cookies, salted caramel cookies, but also more surprising variations with pistachio and raspberry, matcha and white chocolate, black sesame, and even dried fruit. Some cookies are ultra-soft in the center, like barely baked cookie dough, while others are crispier and perfectly golden brown.
In Paris, they can be found in coffee shops as well as in stores entirely dedicated to this specialty. Some pastry chefs are revisiting the cookie, making it almost gourmet: XL sizes, melt-in-the-mouth fillings, sophisticated textures. It also comes in vegan, gluten-free, and low-sugar versions to suit all tastes.
Whether you take them away or enjoy them on the spot with a good coffee, cookies have become a simple but effective sweet treat, perfect for satisfying both small appetites and nostalgic cravings!
