Sablé is a French round shortbread cookie that might have originated in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in Sarthe. [1]
According to the letters of the Marquise de Sévigné, the cookie was maybe created for the first time in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in 1670. [1]
The French word sablé means " sandy", [2] a rough equivalent of English " breadcrumbs". Generally, the baker begins the process by rubbing cold butter into flour and sugar to form particles of dough until the texture resembles that of breadcrumbs or sand. [3]
Among the most well-known sablé recipes are those of La Mère Poulard, and the cookies of Saint-Michel and Pont-Aven.
Sablés can be flavoured with almonds, lemon, parmesan, green pepper, or orange zest.
