Sparkling Shortbread Cookies (Sablés Diamants) Makes: About 50 cookies Active Time: 30 minutes Chilling Time: Minimum 2 hours Baking Time: 12-15 minutes Storage: Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container Equipment: - Baking sheets lined with silicone baking mats or parchment paper Ingredients: - 190 g (1 ¾ sticks / 6.5 oz.) unsalted butter, softened - 90 g (¾ cup / 3 oz.) confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar) - 20 g (1 tbsp / 0.75 oz.) egg yolk (about 1 yolk) - 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped - 275 g (2 ¼ cups / 9.5 oz.) all-purpose flour, sifted - 250 g (1 ¼ cups / 8.8 oz.) granulated sugar, for coating Instructions: 1. Cream the Butter & Sugar In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until smooth and creamy. 2. Incorporate Egg & Vanilla Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla bean seeds until fully combined. 3. Form the Dough Gradually add the sifted flour and mix until a smooth dough forms. 4. Shape & Chill Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each into a 12-inch (30 cm) log, approximately 10 oz. (280 g) each. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. 5. Preheat & Prep Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C ) 6. Coat with Sugar Sprinkle the granulated sugar onto a work surface and roll the chilled dough logs in it until fully coated. 7. Slice & Bake Using a sharp knife, slice the logs into ½-inch (1 cm) thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each. 8. Bake to Perfection Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. 9. Cool & Enjoy Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Chef’s Tips: - Chill Thoroughly: Ensure the logs are firm and well-chilled before slicing to maintain their round shape. - Even Coating: Roll the dough logs evenly in sugar for that signature sparkling edge. - Flavor Boost: Swap vanilla bean for vanilla paste or a hint of almond extract for a twist. These delicate French shortbread cookies melt in your mouth with a crisp, buttery texture and a sparkling sugar-coated edge. Perfect with tea, coffee, or as an elegant homemade gift. #foodtiktok #baking #bakingrecipe #bakingszn #bakingtiktok #yummy #bakingathome #EasyBakingRecipes #BreadBaking #BakingFromScratch #CozyRecipes #HomeBaking #FoodieFavorites #SnackRecipe #ComfortFood #shortbreadcookies #frenchcookies #butterygoodness #homemadebaking #EasyRecipe #creatorinsights #creatorsearchinsights2025view🙌 #trending #trendingvideo #viralvideo - @cozycookingchris
