French cookies, Sablés

I use this base for a lot of recipies including bases for pies, biscuits to decorate for Halloween or for Christmas.

I also used this recipe to make the Fairy Tale House that I then covered with sugar paste, getting it ti stick together with some melted chocolat.


The ingredients are

• 250 gr of flour
• 100 gr of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch of salt
• 125 gr of butter
• vanilla flavouring

Start by mixing the egg, the sugar, the vanilla and the salt for a few minutes.

Add it to the flour and by rubbing your hands together, or by using the back of a spoon, try to get a sand like consistancy. 

Add the butter and mix it all well by hand. Roll it into a ball and cover it in cling film.
Put it in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
