Rose Cookies

These elegant pink sweets are crispy, lady fingers cookies covered by a thin layer of caster sugar. They date back to the 1690s when bakers wanted to make the most out of the heat of their bread oven between batches. They crafted a special dough, which after being baked once, was left in the oven where it finished drying. Hence the origin of the name “bis-cuit”: cooked twice. Originally, the cookie was white, but adding vanilla seeds left brown traces on the biscuit. Someone had the idea of masking this pigmentation with natural red coloring: carmine. This is how these pink cookies were invented and are still being produced today, following the traditional double-baking recipe.

While these cookies taste amazing by themselves, dipping them in Rosé or Champagne is customary and reveals their full flavor.
