What it is
These are thin, crisp cookies made with butter and caramel. They are baked until golden brown and have a delicate, slightly chewy texture in the center. The caramel flavor is prominent and sweet, balanced by the rich butter. Each cookie is a small, round disc, perfect for a sweet treat. They are a classic French biscuit, often enjoyed with coffee or tea.

How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining cookies in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their crispness. Avoid exposing them to moisture, which can make them soft and lose their texture.
