Tips:

  • When working with the orange sable dough, make sure to keep it cold. This will help prevent the butter from melting and the dough from becoming too soft.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can still make the dough by hand. Just be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, and then work in the flour and orange zest until the dough comes together.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
  • The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • The sable cookies can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or citrus zest.
