In “The cookie of our dreams” (First Editions), the gourmet bookseller Déborah Dupont-Daguet and the culinary photographer Géraldine Martens have brought together 59 variations around the delicious cookie. For this first episode of “Cook confined”, we called Géraldine by WhatsApp so that she would help us make one of her favorite preparations: the almond and chocolate cookie. A revisited sweetness reminiscent of financiers or macaroons of yesteryear.
