## Description

Lu Le Petit Cookie: A French Chocolate Chip Cookie, in summary: A plain, only moderately sweet crumb set with solid chunks of chocolate, which make up a third of the recipe. Every bite differs, the cocoa lingers, and it takes a two-second dunk in a strong breakfast tea.
Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.
Chocolate is 33% of Le Petit Cookie by the published ingredient list, almost level with the wheat flour at 34%. Because it comes as chunks rather than fine chips, that chocolate arrives unevenly, and the unevenness is the point.
Chunks, and why every bite differs 
A fine chip melts into the dough and spreads chocolate thinly through every mouthful. A chunk survives the bake as a solid piece, so some bites are mostly chocolate and others have hardly any. Chunks also melt slowly, so the chocolate is still there as the crumb clears, and it tastes deeper and lasts longer than a scattering of chips would, even though the biscuit around it is plain.
Anyone who wants exactly the same chocolate in each bite should look at a topped biscuit such as Lu's own Le Petit Chocolat. If you enjoy the lottery of a big chunk at the edge, this is the one. It sits in the Le Petit range beside the plain Petit Beurre, the spiced Biscotte and the lemon soft bakes, each built around one clear idea.
A plainer crumb, and probably a crisp one 
Lu bakes this less sweet than many of the British and American cookies it shares a shelf with, so the chocolate feels like the sweet part and the crumb like a plain frame for it. The ingredient list is simple: wheat flour, chocolate, palm oil, sugar, raising agents, salt, a carotene colour, flavouring and skimmed milk powder.
The pack does not call these soft bakes, a label Lu uses for its lemon Le Petit Citron, which points to a crisp cookie rather than a chewy one; the pack in hand settles it. By the published list it contains wheat (gluten), milk and soya, and it may contain egg and nuts, so check the label if either matters.
Dunking, storage and the cup 
It takes a quick dunk well, which a coated bar cannot, because the open crumb soaks up tea evenly rather than collapsing from its surface inwards. Two seconds is the limit, and any chunk at the dunked end softens first and melts onto the tongue, which is rather the point. The same open crumb pulls damp from the air, so an opened pack loses its crispness within days and does not get it back.
Open it in a week when the biscuit tin is busy, and clip the pack shut between visits. For the cup, a strong breakfast tea with milk gives the chocolate something sturdy to lean on, and a dark-roast espresso meets it from the bitter side. A vanilla redbush is the softer evening choice.

FAQ
What is the difference between chocolate chunks and chips? Size. Chips melt into the dough and spread evenly; chunks stay whole, so the chocolate comes in bursts and lasts longer in the mouth.
Can you dunk Lu Le Petit Cookie? Yes, briefly. Two seconds is enough before the crumb starts to give way.
Is Lu Le Petit Cookie crisp or soft? Lu does not call it a soft bake, as it does the Le Petit Citron, which suggests a crisp cookie. The pack is the final word.
Does Lu Le Petit Cookie contain nuts? Nuts are not on the ingredient list, but the label says it may contain nuts and egg. It contains wheat (gluten), milk and soya.
What should I drink with a chocolate chip cookie? A strong breakfast tea with milk, or a dark-roast espresso. A vanilla redbush suits the evening.
Curator's note: Eat these slowly, one at a time, and save the biggest chunk for last. A strong mug of breakfast tea is all they need. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
