• François Perret, at the Ritz Paris Le Comptoir

François Perret is having fun with a luxury interpretation. "I imagined a Pim's that I wanted to be ultra-moist with several textures. On a very soft, almost frothy flourless cookie, I lay a compote of raspberries covered with a very thin layer of 72% dark chocolate with a beautiful aromatic power."While we're waiting for its release in September, let's go and enjoy the pastry versions of our favorite cookies: "Ritz au lait", "Barquette Noisette" and other madeleines!

• Kevin Lacote, in Paris

He's launching new praline-pecan shortbreads to make us roar with pleasure. "I've imagined two crumbly chocolate-hazelnut crumble-style shortbreads, between which I place a beautiful layer of ultra-melting pecan and milk chocolate praline."These "Prince Kevin" biscuits are 8 cm in diameter to satisfy even the most demanding palates. For coffee lovers, the cookie is also available with a coffee-hazelnut praline.

• Nicolas Bernardé, in La Garenne-Colombes

With humor, Nicolas Bernardé, Meilleur ouvrier de France pâtissier, reinterprets Petit Écolier, which he marks with the "NB" seal.

• Merouan Bounekraf, à Panade, Paris

Nantais shortbread made throughout the year, imagined with the humor of chef Merouan Bounekraf as a smiley face, sometimes happy, sad or in love. "To make the dough crumbly, I use cooked egg yolk, then add a layer of gianduja ganache between the two shortbread biscuits for a delicious touch."Munch on these smileys and share them as text messages!

• Plaq, in Paris

We love these little cookies made with butter, flour, sugar, egg yolk and a touch of salt, then covered with a slab of pure dark or milk chocolate for a full-bodied, gourmet snack! "We always try to make simple products with short recipes and as little sugar as possible to bring out the taste of each ingredient," confides Sandra Mielenhausen. We're crazy about these cookies, available individually.

• Kaori Akazawa, at Pages Blanches, Paris

In this brand-new patisserie, opened last February, you can sink your teeth into Japanese chef Kaori Akazawa's "Biscuits Briques", inspired by the store's rough-hewn walls. Inspired by BN, filled with praline, there are three to choose from: chocolate (hazelnut-dark chocolate), pistachio (pistachio-white chocolate) and hazelnut (hazelnut-milk chocolate). Hard to choose!

• Fabrice Gillotte, in Dijon

Meilleur ouvrier de France chocolatier, Fabrice Gillotte imagines "Dualités", ultra-gourmand cookies inspired by the famous Pépito. "I insert a thin layer of Madagascar vanilla salted butter caramel on the cookie, then cover it with a milk chocolate top. In the dark chocolate version, the caramel is replaced by Piedmont hazelnut spread."Irresistible cookies made with the precision of a MOF.

• Vincent Guerlais, Nantes

As a child, he used to enjoy Petit Beurre and hazelnut milk chocolate. What could be better than to reproduce this snack in a pastry version? "In a nod to my city, I created "P'tit Beurre by Vincent" in 2010. The visual of the famous cookie is repeated: the four ears, the notched edge and the little holes on top. I add a cookie praline covered with dark chocolate from Ghana, milk chocolate from Nicaragua or blond chocolate."A cookie you must try at least once in your life, available in a "Baby Beurre" version, with hazelnut caramel, or a "Grand Beurre" version to share.

• Jérémie Gressier, at Terre Blanche, Tourettes

For brunch, Jérémie Gressier prepares tasty little cookies inspired by baker's glasses. "I wanted a playful cookie with a cookie cutter to add a little extra indulgence.
