FAQS

  1. How do I make chocolate sablé cookies from scratch?

    To make chocolate sablé cookies, start by mixing 3 cups of flour with 125 g of butter, 2 eggs, a pinch of vanilla, a dash of lemon essence, and 4 tablespoons of regular sugar until the dough is soft. Roll out the dough, cut it into shapes, and bake at 160°C (320°F) until golden. Once cooled, sandwich them with a buttercream filling made from butter, powdered sugar, and strawberry essence.

  2. Are chocolate sablé cookies suitable for a gluten-free diet?

    Traditional chocolate sablé cookies contain flour, which is not gluten-free. However, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies suitable for a gluten-free diet. Just ensure that the blend you choose is designed for baking to achieve the best texture.

  3. What can I use instead of strawberry chocolate for the sablé cookies?

    If you don't have strawberry chocolate, you can substitute it with white chocolate or dark chocolate. For a fruity flavor, consider adding a few drops of strawberry essence to the melted chocolate to maintain that strawberry taste while using a different type of chocolate.

  4. How should I store chocolate sablé cookies to keep them fresh?

    To keep your chocolate sablé cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies without the buttercream filling. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  5. What drinks pair well with chocolate sablé cookies?

    Chocolate sablé cookies pair wonderfully with a variety of drinks. For a classic combination, serve them with a cup of coffee or espresso. If you prefer something sweeter, try pairing them with a glass of milk or a fruity tea. For a festive touch, a glass of sparkling wine can also complement the rich flavors of the cookies.
