Sorry, I can't get accents on my PC today. There should of course be a circumflex on the A. I can see the kind of horrible wafery pink biscuits we're talking about here.

gaufrettes aux fraises


Explanation:
ou gaufrettes roses.

I buy them regularly for my son, not the pink one, the chocolate ones. Depends of the brand name, the "Kägi Toggenburger" are delicious. He just loves them.

Biscuits de Reims/Boudoirs (roses)


Explanation:
These are "boudoirs" style; usualy these kind of biscuits are white, but in Reims they are pink. They are very often served with champagne.
