Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 215 grams, salted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams, white
- 2 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 grams, plain flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar 60 grams, icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Add the butter and granulated sugar to a medium bowl and cream by beating with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks.
- Sift in the flour and powdered icing sugar and stir by hand to form a stiff dough.
- Lightly flour the work surface and roll the sable dough out to ¼” thick. Cut out cookies with a round (or other shape) cookie cutter (I use a 2” cookie cutter). Roll out the dough scraps and repeat until it’s all used up.
- Place the cookies onto the tray (use 2 trays if necessary), leaving room between the cookies, and place into the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
- Bake the sable cookies for 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Before making the dough, leave out the butter and eggs to come to room temperature first. This will help ensure the texture says intact when baked.
- Don’t overwork the dough. Mix the cookie dough just until combined. Overworking flour could cause the dough to stiffen up compromising the texture of the cookie.
- When adding the cookie shapes to the baking sheet, you may need to use two baking sheets depending on their size.
- The cookies should be completely cool before serving. Once cool, the texture of the cookie will be a classic shortbread.
