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.
SAVORY SAGE-PARMESAN SABLES
Sables are French butter cookies from the northern part of France. They are usually citrus flavored and also go very well with a marmalade coating. Here the sables are turned into a savory treat through the addition of Parmesan cheese and fresh sage. This savory Sage-Parmesan shortbread has a very delicate crumb and makes for a wonderful appetizer to serve to your guests during the Holiday season or cocktail hour. They go very well together with some good red wine and olives. From My German Kitchen in the Rockies; inspired by Ina Garten. Note: These would be good made with fresh thyme, in place of the sage. Prep includes a 30 minute chill time.

Steps:
- Cream the butter. You can use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand held mixer. Add the Parmesan, sage, salt and pepper and mix well. Add the flour and combine until large crumbs form. About 1 minute.
- On a floured wooden board roll the dough into a 9 inch long log. Wrap the log in plastic or foil and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven on Convection 350°F Line a baking sheet with a silicon pad or parchment paper.
- Cut the log in 24 equal slices that are 3/8 inch of thickness. Use a very sharp small kitchen knife.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during the baking time.
- Cool the shortbread and serve at room temperature. I served mine with olives and a good red wine.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Look for fresh sage, finely grated Parmesan cheese, and unsalted butter.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
These savory sage Parmesan sables are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. The combination of sage, Parmesan cheese, and butter is irresistible. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
