Chocolate orange Sable cookies. So, we've established that a sable cookie is one tasty (not-beach-bomb reminiscent) cookie. The great thing about these chocolate sable cookies is that the chilled dough will last for months when frozen in an airtight container. These cookies made an appearance at my most recent Mah Jongg gathering and they were absolutely delicious. The lady that brought the cookies is a most talented and skilled baker, but she assured us that this recipe is easier than she. Sablé is a French round shortbread cookie that originates in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, in Sarthe.
