Straight from France Genuinely French Butter Cookies Gift Tin — Normandy Shortbread, 48 Individually Bagged Cookies

Straight from France Genuinely French Butter Cookies in a decorative Normandy tin are French-made shortbread treats—48 individually bagged galettes and palets perfect for gifting, snacking, and sharing.

Handmade in France by La Mère Poulard, these butter cookies capture the classic texture and butter-forward flavor of Normandy shortbread. The tin contains four bags of eight thin, crumbly galettes and four bags of four denser palets for a total of 48 cookies. Presented in a collectible Normandy-themed gift tin, this set joins five other regionally inspired tins depicting Brittany, Provence, Rhone Alps, Auvergne and Paris.

What types of cookies are inside and how do they differ?

The tin includes two traditional French shortbread styles: galettes and palets. Galettes are thin, delicate rounds that melt on the tongue, while palets are thicker and richer, offering a buttery, more substantial bite.

• 4 sealed bags × 8 galettes each — light, crisp, melt-in-mouth texture
• 4 sealed bags × 4 palets each — thicker, richer shortbread rounds
• Made in France by La Mère Poulard using Normandy butter
• Individually bagged portions to maintain freshness and portion control

How should I serve or enjoy these cookies?

These shortbreads are versatile for everyday snacking or for serving at gatherings. They pair especially well with hot beverages and provide an elegant, easy-to-serve option for parties or gift baskets.

• Serve galettes with tea or espresso for a light, complementary bite
• Offer palets alongside dessert wines or coffee for a richer pairing
• Use the individual bags as grab-and-go snacks or lunchbox treats
• Display the tin on a table as a decorative and reusable container

Is the packaging suitable for gifting and storage?

The decorative Normandy tin is designed both as a presentable gift and a practical storage container. Each cookie is sealed in small bags to preserve texture and flavor; once opened, the tin helps protect remaining bags from light and crushing.

• Collector-style metal tin with Normandy artwork — ready for gifting
• Individual sealed bags reduce air exposure and keep cookies crisp
• Tin can be reused for keepsakes after cookies are finished
• Compact format makes it easy to transport to parties or events

Where does the butter and recipe tradition come from?

La Mère Poulard draws from Normandy baking traditions known for high-quality butter and rich shortbreads. The recipe emphasizes simple, premium ingredients to highlight the natural flavor of Normandy butter rather than complex additives.

• Produced in France with authentic Normandy butter for true regional taste
