I live a short 30 minute drive to a small town in the Napa Valley called Yountville. Yountville is home to many terrific and famous restaurants like French Laundry, Boucheron, Boucheron Bakery, Ad Hoc... These are all owned by a well know chef by the name of Thomas Keller. Thomas Keller is known for his take on old childhood favorites... this cookie is his sophisticated version of the Oreo (
Thomas
Keller's
Oreos)! The only place to purchase these cookies is at the Boucheron Bakery (next time i'm there i will pick some up) and they are very popular according to many posts that i've come across... Since my Dad
loves the French Laundry I decided to give these cookies a go... they are simple to make and taste great! The outside is a thin, shortbread-like rich cocoa flavored cookie that becomes slightly softer as the filling and cookie meld together. I like to use coarse Kosher salt for a little more salt hit with the chocolate. The white chocolate ganache for the filling whips up nice and fluffy so i was able to easily pipe it in between the two cookies! Try them for yourself and see! You can find the recipe
here.
