A gift from our friends on the African continent, Cinq Centimes are sold by Senegalese street vendors. Cinq Centimes is French for “5 cents” as the cookies are shaped like a 5-cent coin. Simple and sweet, Cinq Centimes are tender vanilla sugar cookies topped with peanut butter. Uncomplicated, but addictingly delicious.
