What are Sablé Cookies?
Sablé cookies are a traditional French shortbread known for their crumbly texture and buttery flavor. Hailing from the Normandy region of France, their name, "sablé," translates to "sand" in French, reflecting their texture. These cookies are made with straightforward ingredients: butter, sugar, flour, and sometimes vanilla or almond extract. Their simplicity allows them to melt in your mouth, a quality appreciated by many. Sablé cookies are adaptable and can be flavored with chocolate, lemon zest, or herbs. Whether enjoyed plain or with additional flavors, Sablé cookies offer a delightful balance of sweetness, making them a versatile treat for various occasions.
