Aniseed Cookies
As we delve into the world of French pastries, let me introduce you to the delightful traditional and easy to make treat known as Gimblettes, or Aniseed cookies from Albi. These cookies are a beloved classic from the South-West of France, renowned for their unique anise flavor and charming bagel-like ring shape. With a semi-dry texture, they are the perfect companion to your morning coffee, or afternoon tea. The recipe for Gimblettes has stood the test of time, passed down through generations to preserve its authentic artisanal roots. Similar to other anise-flavored treats like Échaudés, Janots, or Brassados from Provence, these cookies exude a rustic charm that harkens back to a bygone era. Whether enjoyed on their own or dunked in white wine as a traditional pairing, Gimblettes offer a taste of history and tradition from the beautiful regions of France. Join me in exploring the culinary heritage of Albi with these cherished Aniseed cookies, a true delight for the senses and the soul.
