Bredele

I tackled the German cookie assortment by focusing on a specialty (or two) in each town. Since we are only in one town in France, I'm cookie-challenged. There are market stalls with dozens of amazing choices and samples, windows with macarons in tempting flavors, and whole shops called biscuiteries dedicated to cookies. We didn't make much progress seeing the town because of my delays. Julie finally had to put her foot down and cut me off.

Alsatian Christmas cookies are called bredele and one baker told me there are 1001 varieties...and they keep making new ones. I give up!
