Couque d’Asse is a popular Korean-made cookie featuring a delicate, crisp biscuit with a creamy white chocolate or coffee filling, often sold individually wrapped. The name is a nod to the French word “couque,” meaning “cake,” and “d’Asse,” which refers to the Belgian city of Asse, although the cookie itself is a modern snack from Korea.
To add a bit more to the cultural mix, this is a Japanese cookie being sold in a Thai department store.
Why did they make the “D’asses” plural if it refers to a singular Belgian town? Because they love couques?
