Popularized in the 20th century with the addition of chocolate, the cookie has become an endless treat. Here is a selection of delicious and original ones that you can find in Nice.
Developed in the Middle Ages, bakers used small quantities of dough to test the temperature of their ovens before baking their breads and large cakes.
These small portions then evolved to become small dry biscuits, “cookies,” appreciated for their long shelf life and ease of transport.
In 1938, Ruth Graves Wakefield added chocolate chips to her biscuit recipe and thus created the famous chocolate chip cookie.
Today, the cookie is among the most consumed biscuits. It comes in a multitude of versions — chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, pistachio, dried fruits, vegan, gluten-free, soft, crispy, raw or revisited — to satisfy all palates.
