French shortbread sablés literally melt in your mouth with every bite. They're crumbly, light, and, despite their apparent simplicity, delicious. Their main ingredient is butter, which must be of the highest quality to impart a delicate vanilla-creamy flavor and aroma. The cookie dough is formed into a cylinder (or log), then rolled in decorative sugar and cut into circles. Bake the cookies for just 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat thoroughly. Combine the flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is smooth and even. On a lightly floured surface, form the dough into 2.5-5 cm diameter cylinders. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the chilled dough cylinders with beaten egg and roll in crystal sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into circles approximately 0.8 cm thick. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 cm apart.
