Poilane-style punition sugar-butter cookie recipe
- My favorite baker to read about: Lionel Poilane
- The bakery: Poilane
- The wheel-shaped Poilane loaf tastes excellent. My wife brought back bread, cookies, and the large version of bakery's proofing basket from Paris, which was a return-flight stopover for a couple days from her business trip in Istanbul.

Intro
I've been making these cookies for a few years. It's a small, thin, crunchy cookie. I leave them plain, no toppings. It's another example of how simple ingredients combined well can produce a delicious treat.
A couple keys: use the metal cookie sheets and not the baking stone, so that the cookies crisp well. And the browner the cookie, the better it tastes. At least allow the sides and some of the top of the cookie to obtain a light brown color.
