Margaret Cookies

Overview

Margaret biscuits have the same name as a certain French female writer. Her "Lover" is famous far and wide. As we all know, she once had a "Lover in Northern China". Just hearing the name will make people feel suffocated by romance. The full name of this cookie is Miss Margaret who lived in Stresa, Italy, and its English name is Italian Hard-boiled Egg Yolk Cookies. It is impossible to verify why she got such a long name, but her popularity is understandable. Perhaps this Margaret, like the female writer, has had countless romances, and her name has become synonymous with this biscuit. The poetic pastry chef named a biscuit after a beautiful woman, which shows the petty bourgeoisie sentiment. But having said that, the reason why Margherita biscuits are so popular is not only because of its excellent taste, rich egg yolk flavor, and melt-in-the-mouth texture, but also because it is simple to make and very easy to use, so it is very suitable for beginners to try.
