These were very, very good. Basically, a Sarah Bernhardt is a plain almond macaron cookie (made with almond paste) topped with crème d'or and coated with chocolate glaze. Yum, yum!
On a side note, they are named after the actress, Sarah Bernhardt. There are two theories as to why they are named after her, both having to do with their shape. Either they are meant to emulate her tears, after all she was a dramatic actress, or her breasts, which apparently were quite voluptuous. I prefer to believe that it's the former, but I have to say they do look a bit more like the latter.
