Sable Cookies: A Delicious Treat

As a passionate cook and artist, I've had the pleasure of sharing my creations with friends and family for years. Unfortunately, with my busy schedule, I haven't been able to dedicate as much time to cooking as I'd like. However, when I do have the chance, I love experimenting with new recipes and techniques.

My husband is a foodie at heart, and he has his own unique way of rating recipes. He gives them one of three scores: ġ (Add it to your recipe book - I loved it and want to eat this again soon!), Ģ (Interesting, I will enjoy eating this again), or ģ (I cleared my plate but don't expect me to eat this again ever!). You might notice that I've posted several Algerian classics on the site, as we love cooking food from all over the world.

As a mother of two, I'm grateful to have the opportunity to cook with my children. My youngest daughter is almost three and loves helping out in the kitchen, while my eldest son is almost eight and enjoys experimenting with new recipes alongside me. In fact, you can often find us cooking together on the weekends.

Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I had the pleasure of working in two commercial kitchens - one that I ran myself, and another where I was second chef. With over 20 years of experience under my belt (or apron!), I'm confident in my ability to create delicious and unique recipes like these sable cookies.

Sable Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Roll out the dough to about 4mm thick, flouring the rolling pin well.

2. Cut out 'tops' and 'bottoms' for your sables.

3. Place a blob of jam on the underside of each 'bottom.'

4. Allow the jam to cool slightly, then spoon approximately 1/2 tsp onto the underside of each 'bottom.'

5. Place all the sable 'tops' onto a tray and dust generously with icing sugar.

6. Bake for 8 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C).

7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cold plate or tray.

8. The sables should be just set but still white. If not, return them to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Tips and Variations

* Allow the sables to set before storing in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

* Experiment with different flavors of jam or fillings for unique variations.

* Consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough for added texture and flavor.

I hope you enjoy these delicious sable cookies as much as my family does! With their crispy edges and chewy centers, they're sure to become a new favorite. Happy baking!
