Mirror Cookies
These cookies
are from a bakery (Boulangerie Guenaux) in the lakefront town
of Morges, situated 20 miles from Geneva. What's so special about
'em? It's the gooey glazing on top. The bottom half of the cookie
is intentionally overcooked (so it's crispy and not chewy) and
the middle is filled with either raspberry or apricot jam. Many
bakeries make these but very few seem to know the secret of overcooking
the bottom half. No one can tell me why they are called Mirror
cookies.
