Wheat flour, sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable oil, raising agents (sodium and ammonium bicarbonate), salt, emulsifier (lecithin), flavours, flour improver (sodium metabisulphite).

The perfect event was a Royal wedding: the Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (fourth son of Albert of Saxony and Queen Victoria) and María Alexandrovna. The taste is similar to rich tea but in my opinion nicer as they are crispier and have vanilla flavouring too, nice with a cup of tea! The cookies are popular all over the world, but particularly through Spain and South and Central America.

Starting with the melted chocolate covered the bottom, then dunk each biscuit in the milk/rum liquid and place them on top, covering the chocolate. 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. 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. They were looking to innovate, so these confectioners wanted to create a different biscuit to serve it with tea. Marie cookies are crumbled or crushed for recipes nearly as often as they are enjoyed whole as cookies.
