Ingredients

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. In a medium bowl mix the flour and baking powder and set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix in the dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms.

  5. Form the dough into a disk shape or 2-inch diameter log.

  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

  7. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  8. Prepare the egg wash by beating together the egg white and 2 teaspoons of water.

  9. Roll out the disk of dough to 1/4-inch thickness, and cut out the ​sables using a 2-inch fluted cookie cutter.

  10. If using a log of cookie dough, slice it crosswise into 1/4-inch thick coins.

  11. Brush the sables with the egg wash, and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned around the edges.

  12. Cool the sables for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  13. Enjoy!
