About this deal

Marie cookies are simple wheat flour biscuits made with sugar, though they're not overwhelmingly sweet. After the Civil War, the biscuit became a symbol of economic recovery as bakeries produced them massively, due to a surplus in wheat harvests that made them cheaper. Marie cookies are crumbled or crushed for recipes nearly as often as they are enjoyed whole as cookies. Thanks Annacia for posting - this is the perfect cookie for DH as he likes cookies that aren't over sugary.

Thus, the confectioners Peek and Frean decided to honour the arrival of Maria Alexandrovna of Russia to the British Royal Family. Wheat flour, sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable oil, raising agents (sodium and ammonium bicarbonate), salt, emulsifier (lecithin), flavours, flour improver (sodium metabisulphite). Maria biscuits are smashed for milkshakes or atole, layered in no-bake desserts, and pulverized into “flour” for cakes and other cookies.They were looking to innovate, so these confectioners wanted to create a different biscuit to serve it with tea.

Just like any country, Venezuela has its share of local desserts that are very uncommonly found anywhere else but there. In Spain there is a fake legend which tells that in 1920 the confectioner Eugenio Fontaneda named them after his granddaughter.

It became popular throughout Europe, particularly in Portugal and Spain where, following the Civil War, the biscuit became a symbol of the country's economic recovery after bakeries produced mass quantities to consume a surplus of wheat. Melt the butter in medium saucepan over low heat, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the brown sugar with a wooden spoon (the sugar will get soft and saucy, but there may still be a layer of butter on top; don't worry, the mixture comes together as you add the rest of the ingredients). The low moisture content ensures they won't easily fall apart when used as a dunking cookie for your morning coffee, afternoon tea, hot cocoa, or any other hot or cold beverage. However, the fact is that the famous María biscuit became very popular in Spain thanks to the Artiach and Fontaneda brands.

They're also popularly spread with a jam, marmalade, hazelnut spread, or peanut butter as a snack or dessert, and are delicious when dipped in melted chocolate.

Among other things, Marie cookies appear in flans, bonbons, and layered cakes, and they make a nice garnish for a dish of ice cream, pudding, or similar desserts. The cookies are popular all over the world, but particularly through Spain and South and Central America.

In Brazil, they are soaked in milk and then stacked in layers of chocolate and vanilla-flavoured custard cream, with whipped cream and crushed cashew nuts on top to make pavê, a popular Brazilian dessert.We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.
