Rosemary Pine Nut Sables Recipe

Active 15 mins

Total 2 hrs 35 mins

Serves 30 cookies

Ingredients

16 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts

Directions

In a large bowl, cream together butter and and sugar with a handheld electric mixer, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and salt. Add flour and beat just until combined. Add rosemary and pine nuts and stir until evenly distributed. Roll dough into a 1 1/2-inch wide log, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for two hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to slice log into 1/3-inch thick pieces. Bake cookies until golden, turning sheet once during baking, about 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

Notes

Because sables derive so much of their taste from butter, use the best quality you can find.
