TWD: Sables

Apparently, sables are Alex's favorite cookies. Imagine my surprise. This whole time I thought snickerdoodles were his favorite cookie. If I would have known he liked sables more I would have made these cookies more often because of how easy they are to make. I like snickerdoodles but find the task of rolling them in cinnamon-sugar a little too tedious. Feeling a little silly that I didn't know my husband's favorite cookie I asked him how long had the sable been his favorite cookie and when the snickerdoodle was dethroned. I think I caught him as off guard as he caught me when he proclaimed the sable to be his favorite cookie because his response was "My favorite cookies are the sugary ones." That narrows things down, doesn't?
This recipe, selected by Barbara of Bungalow Barbara, is fantastic. I stuck to the original sweet, buttery recipe and the cookies were gone in a matter of minutes. I couldn't find any of my more cheery sugar colors, so the cookies were rolled in black sugar. The cookies were crumbly and delicious and definitely worth trying again and again. Thanks Barbara for a great selection and don't forget to stop by TWD to see how everyone else fared this week.

Oh hubbies. You think it's something complicated but it always come down to I like "the sugary ones."

You nailed him but good - but at least he likes "sugary" cookies, right?

Thank you for baking along with me this week!

Glad you liked them -- and that they are Alex's current favorite.

The black sugar would be great for Halloween!
