I came upon these divine galettes by accident when I purchased a pretty tin wind up music box at my favourite purveyor of imported foods for discriminating tastes here in town. Truth be told I bought it for the box and didn't expect the cookies to be anything more than edible. They are soft and airy with the perfect amount of sweet and spice. Each galette has a wafer on the bottom. The kind of wafer best described as what they make 'host' for mass from.
I've had to hide them because the girls love them too, and Boo keeps asking for the good gingerbread.
