FRENCH BUTTER COOKIES
The Brittany region of France is known for its use of butter. These French butter cookies, also known as sable Breton, shine the spotlight on the famous ingredient. This recipe is mildly sweet, rich, crisp and has a hint of salt. You won't be able to resist having a second-or third. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat thoroughly. Combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and blend until the dough is smooth. On a very lightly floured surface, shape the dough into cylinders about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush refrigerated logs with beaten egg and roll in crystalline sugar. With a sharp knife, slice the dough into rounds about 1/3-inch thick. Place 1-inch apart on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are slightly colored around the edges.
FRENCH BUTTER COOKIES (SABLES)

Steps:
- Place the egg in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once water comes to a boil, remove pan from heat, cover, and let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a small bowl with ice water. Transfer the egg to the ice water and let stand about 5 minutes. Peel the shell off the egg, then separate the yolk from the white - you are only using the yolk for this recipe.
- Add butter, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Press the yolk through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl. Using the paddle attachment, beat together the ingredients on medium speed for about 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed. Turn mixer to low and add vanilla. Stop the mixer and add the flour. Mix on low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to press the dough together into a cohesive mass, then divide the dough in half.
- Roll each half into a log about 5 inches long and 1 ¾ inches in diameter. Tightly wrap each log in a 12-inch square of parchment paper. Twist one end of the paper, and then twist the other end to seal and firmly compact the dough in a tight cylinder. Chill until firm, about one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into ¼-inch thick rounds, rotating the dough log slightly after each cut so that the shape stays intact. Place cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets.
- Using a pastry brush, brush cookies with egg white mixture and sprinkle evenly with sugar. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown. I like to bake these in two separate batches - if you do it at the same time, make sure you rotate the sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking.
- Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
BRETON SALTED BUTTER SABLéS
If there's one cookie that defined my childhood, it is undoubtedly this one: the Breton Salted Butter Sablé, also known in French as the Galette Bretonne. It is a crisp, "sandy" cookie made with the simplest of ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs and a lot of butter enriched with sea salt flakes. It can be found in all bakeries across Brittany, and lots of natives like myself will tell you it is their absolute favorite. Simply put: it boasts the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors, finished with a generous...

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the 3 whole eggs, until just incorporated.
- Sift together the flour and salt over the butter/sugar/egg mixture. Combine with a spatula until it all comes together into a soft ball. It is essential to stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are all combined; over-mixing will make the sablés too tough. Wrap the dough in plastic film and chill for 1 hour.
- Pre-heat your oven to 350F (180C) with a rack in the middle.
- Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll the dough until it is ½-inch thick (1.27cm). Peel off the top sheet of parchment paper and cut out circles of dough with a 2-inch (5cm) round cookie cutter (scalloped, if you want to stick to the authentic look).
- Transfer the dough circles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The dough is still quite sticky, you may need a spatula to delicately unpeel the circles.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with the milk and brush the top of the dough circles with this egg wash. Using a fork, create a crosshatch pattern over the dough circles.
- Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet mid-way.
- Transfer the sablés immediately to a cooling rack.

- With a mixer on low speed, beat the butter, sugars, and salt together for 5 minutes, until smooth. Beat in the yolks, then the vanilla. Scrape the bowl and add the flour all at once. Mix only until the flour is incorporated.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks on a lightly floured surface, and place each between sheets of parchment or wax paper. Roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. [Editor’s Note: Just like in the story of Goldilocks, you want the dough to be not too thin and not too thick but just right at 1/4 inch thick. Trust us.] Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for at least 1 hour.
- If using 2-inch baking rings, cut out the first batch of cookies and, using an offset spatula, gently transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If using 2-inch cookie cutters, cut out the first batch of cookies and, using an offset spatula, gently transfer the cookies to muffin tins to help the cookies retain their perfect shape during baking.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy - about 1 minute.
- Add 2 egg yolks and the vanilla extract, and mix on medium speed until they're incorporated. Stop to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula before resuming the mixing. Add the flour in and mix on low speed just until the dough starts to clump together.
- Lightly flour a wooden board or counter before placing the mass of dough onto it. Use your hands to shape the dough into a big ball. Then sprinkle some flour on top of the dough before using a rolling pin to roll the dough out. As soon as the dough starts sticking to your pin, sprinkle a pinch of flour on the dough, then resume rolling. Roll your dough out until it's approximately 1/4" thick.
- Use medium round cookie cutters (2.25"/5.75 cm) to cut out round cookies from the dough. Use a sharp-edged spatula to transfer the cookie rounds onto the baking sheet. Place 12 cookies on the baking sheet, spaced out from each other. Beat the remaining yolk in a small bowl. Use a fork to make a cross-hatch pattern on the cookies (drag the fork down vertically on the cookie, then drag the fork across horizontally). Brush the tops of the cookies with the beaten egg yolk.

- In the bowl of the mixer cream the butter on medium speed, then add the sugars and salt, beat for one minute. Reduce the speed to low then add the egg yolks and vanilla beat for one minute. Be sure to scrape the bowl.
- Mix the dough just until combined, the dough will be soft. There may be flour remaining at the bottom of the bowl, mix it into the dough with a spatula.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and knead gently into a ball. Divide the dough into two parts. I formed one into a log about 8-9 inches (20-22 cm) and one into a ball. The log is for slice and bake and the round is for cut out cookies. You can do the same or do one or the other. (If you make of the same type of cookie, be sure to make either two logs or two rounds for easier handling of the dough). Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least three hours.
