Some specialty stores will sell these in special baking sets and which are a good idea because the cookie cutters and chocolate moulds will be the right size for each other. You will need a special chocolate mould for these biscuits, as well as the requisite fluted rectangular cookie cutter. Equipment for Making Pétit Écolier Cookies My go-to french cookie recipe is the one used for my Gingerbread Sablé but without the spices.īut, for something a bit different, I settled on the following French cookie recipe which produces a crisp and crunchy base, and which works well with the chocolate topping. Hence, instead of imitating the manufactured product, you are better off making a biscuit which tastes delicious and which can hold its shape with the chocolate bar on top. I have tried a few french cookie recipes for the base and have come to the conclusion that it is quite hard to replicate the shop-bought version. Given that the shop-bought varieties are so good, I never really thought about a homemade version until recently.Īnd with Christmas around the corner and lots of gifts to prepare for school teachers and neighbours, I thought this would be a fun activity to do with the children.Įxcept that it is an incredibly messy process with tiny tots!! But gosh they loved filling the moulds with chocolate and licking the excess off their fingers, which I am sure got there deliberately and not through lack of precision 😉 French Cookie Recipe For moments when I want to eat with a good conscience, I buy the organic version from Co-op. Plus, they sell packets of mini Petit Beurre biscuits for on the go, which means that I always have something to bribe the children with when in public.Īnd for lovers of Ovomaltine chocolate, they also have a very addictive version of these biscuits too.
In case you were wondering, the Swiss brand, Wernli, make Petit Beurre biscuits with an assortment of chocolate toppings, including milk, dark, white and caramel. I buy them unashamedly for my children because I love to sneak a few for myself. While I like to remain faithful to the original French brand, other companies now also make similar biscuits, and it is hard to ignore the Swiss companies which use good-quality Swiss chocolate … I know, because I have become a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to these biscuits 😉 Pétit Beurre and Pétit ÉcolierĪs a child visiting my family in France and Switzerland, I always loved snacking on Petit Beurre cookies, especially those made by the French brand, Lu, and especially the ones which came with a bar of chocolate on top, called Petit écolier.
