Baking With Dorie: Sablés


 According to Dorie, the Sablés that we made this week is "the master recipe" adapted when she "learned to make sablés in Paris working with some of the city's best pâtissier". Wow!! How can one pass trying out this recipe!

This week's recipe was chosen by Laurie of Cookin' up North. You may find the recipe posted on her blog here or page 131 of Baking from my home to yours by Dorie Greenspan.
I made half the recipe and ended up with one log and about 20 cookies. They are buttery and sandy and my eldest daughter can't get enough of it! Mine turned out golden brown although Dorie's sablés look creamy and pale. We love them anyways! And they make your kitchen smell super terrific too!!


The bejeweled log. So pretty!!

  4. Mia, I baked mine at less than the recommended 17-20 mins yet they turned golden brown, not that I'm complaining..they don't look too bad though I would love to get the look of Dorie's sables in the future.

    Yes, red and green for the holidays - I made do with the pink colored decorative sugar I already have in my kitchen!! :)

  6. Love the pink sugar! How I wish now that I had used sugar instead of dealing with a melted candy debacle! ;-)
