Sable is a classic French cookies originated in Normandie. The name Sable’, comes from the French word for sand, because of their crumbly texture. Soft and delicate they are very easy to make. The hard-boiled egg yolk adds extra body, and they can eventually be flavored with nuts or zest. They are traditionally cut into rounds with fluted edges, but they could also assume different shapes. Try to sandwich them with chocolate or jam: It makes a lot of fun to do them with and for kids.
