French Sable Cookies (Sablés à la Confiture)

 

Today i’ll share with you my recipe and my way of making sableé cookies or short dough cookies a very tasty for your afternoon tea time. The dough is a little less sweet than a sugar cookie dough and a little less rich than shortbread dough, and it’s perfect to hold soft fillings like pastry cream or fresh fruit jam without getting soggy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To do this easy recipe you have just to mix butter with sugar, add egg and flour.Chill then cut and bake. The final dough bakes up with a nice delicious crispy bites. These yummy cookies have many names such as pâte sableé, sweet dough, short dough , tart jam and tart dough.

Well, call it with any names the result is a (delicious cookies).

 

Can i fill it with another filling?

Yes, you can fill it with chocolate paste or any jam flavour such as apricot, red berries or orange.

 

Why the dough takes 2 hours to chill?

The dough is soft and crumbly, and it must rest at least 2 hours until it holds together and you can shape it easly. The perfect way to has a good sablé is to cut it at the same parchment paper, and transfer the cookies with the parchment paper to a tray.
