    Chestnut Sablés

    Chestnut Sablés

    There’s a lot of singing about chestnuts this time of year, but when was the last time you ate ‘em? We decided to change that by including Clement Faugier chestnut paste in our November box. Its recipe dates back to 1885! 🙀

    Thankfully these cookies required less than half of the can, as I was definitely sneaking some bites of the spread with a spoon 😏 Simple, flaky, and buttery, these chestnut sablés have a nice depth of flavour, thanks to the chestnut.

    • Yield: 48 cookies 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 250g all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • 50g granulated sugar
    • pinch of salt
    • 150g butter, cold and cubed
    • 1 egg
    • 100g Clément Faugier Chestnut Paste
    • 1 egg yolk + 1 Tbsp milk

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and butter. With your hands, gently work mixture together until it’s crumbly.
    2. Add egg and chestnut paste, kneading the dough until it comes together.
    3. Wrap dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
    4. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    5. Flour your surface and roll dough out to about ⅛ inch thick (2–3mm).
    6. Cut out cookies with 2.5" circular cutters. Place on prepared cookie sheets.
    7. Repeat with remaining dough.
    8. With a toothpick, make a criss-cross pattern on the top of each cookie. Whisk egg yolk and milk together, then brush on top of cookies.
    9. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
    10. Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Allow cookies to cool completely.
