Punitions are the small, round shortbread specialty of iconic Parisian bakery Poilâne.

No additives, preservatives, or dyes in this recipe -- just eggs, fresh butter, stone-ground wheat flour, and sugar.

Punitions are cooked in Poilâne’s wood-fired brick ovens in Paris. These butter cookies are best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea, or as an accompaniment for a dessert.
