Best 4 Black And White Sables Recipes

BLACK-AND-WHITE SABLES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cocoa, and baking soda. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with sugars on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add salt and vanilla; beat to combine. Add flour mixture; beat on low until just combined. Fold in chocolate. Divide dough in half; shape into two 1 1/2-by-7-inch logs. Wrap each in plastic; refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove logs from refrigerator; let stand until sliceable, about 15 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If slices crack, simply press them back together.) Roll edges in granulated sugar; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake, rotating once, until just set around edges and dry to the touch, 14 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

SABLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment.
• In mixer cream together butter, sugar and salt. Add the eggs and blend well. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture all at once to the butter mixture and stir until just blended.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured pan and pat it out to 3/4 inch to 1-inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill thoroughly. Using dough in small amounts, roll cookie dough onto a floured work surface. Roll dough to desired thickness. Cut cookies with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet about 2-inches apart. These cookies do not spread. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes depending on size. Cool on baking sheet.
• Melt white chocolate snaps, divide melted chocolate into thirds. Place black food coloring in 1/3, red in another 1/3, leaving 1 without food coloring. Take cookie and dip in white chocolate for a base. Place black and red chocolate into separate pastry bags. Design a heart on cookie with red white chocolate and pipe "I Love New York" on cookies with black chocolate.

FRENCH SABLES

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.

COCOA SABLES

Steps:

• Mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• Beat softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture looks like overwhipped whipped cream. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix well. Add dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix them in until evenly moistened.
• Divide the dough into thirds or quarters and knead a little bit on a large sheet of waxed paper. Gather into a ball, then shape into a 1 1/2-inch cylinder or square tube. Wrap up with the waxed paper, pushing in the sides so that the tube is evenly thick from left to right. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies with a sharp knife. Arrange on the baking sheets, spacing them 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before eating.
