Doillins

Doillins are a type of traditional French pastry, originating from the region of Lorraine. They are small, round, and slightly flattened cookies, typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. The dough is rolled out, cut into circles, and then baked until golden brown. Doillins are often dusted with powdered sugar or icing sugar after baking, which gives them their characteristic white appearance. They are a popular treat in France, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. Doillins can be found in various shapes and sizes, with some variations including larger, flatter cookies or those with a hole in the center. The name "doillin" is derived from the French word "douiller," which means to dust with sugar. Despite their simple ingredients, doillins have a rich history and cultural significance in France, often associated with traditional French baking and pastry making.
