There’s something so delightful about French butter cookies, or ‘sablés’ as they’re known in France. These little treats have been a favorite in French households for generations, and it’s easy to see why. With their rich buttery flavor and delicate, crumbly texture, they are simple yet utterly irresistible. Perfect for a cozy afternoon treat or when you’re craving something sweet without wanting to dive into a complex baking project.
French butter cookies are brilliant on their own but can be elevated by pairing them with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea. They’re also fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply alongside a plate of fresh fruit for a light, sweet dessert option. During the holidays, consider serving them as part of a dessert platter, adorned with nuts and chocolate pieces for a festive touch.
