France is well-known for their rich butter cookies, but Fossier, from the champagne center of Reimes, does things with a little extra flair. These cookies are shaped like a champagne cork, which is just a prelude to the fine flavor inside. The recipe is based on a delicious pure butter shortbread, but almond powder replaces part of the flour, and champagne replaces the water. Smooth, with a floral sweetness from the champagne, these cookies are perfect for pairing with your favorite glass of bubbly. Fossier, a traditional brand of fine biscuits, has been baking exceptional cookies since 1756.
