cookies from Brittany
Hello everyone,
I live in Chicago and I'm a big francophile. Two weeks ago, I came back from a wonderful trip to Brittany. I loved everything over there, especially their crepes, cider and galettes. Now I'm looking for a shop in Chicago where I could buy these goodies:

Sorry for the advertising but these are delicious butter cookies, typical of the region of Brittany and I'm looking for a shop that sells them. I've already checked Treasure Island and they don't carry those.
Any ideas?

Trader Joe's has sold them at Christmas time in the familiar and colorful Brittany tins. I have bought boxes for small Christmas gifts for around $5 or $6. I can't remember the price. A lot cheaper than the web site you printed. Someone else must be importing them year round. Good luck.
I have bought the hard cider at wine stores. The cider is not too hard to find, although the selection is limited. I bought the cider mugs when we were in Brittany and have had fun serving the cider to friends in the Brittany style.
