These simple shortbread cookies, also known as a Sable, are a make ahead holiday helper. The dough tucks into the freezer so that it’s at the ready when it’s time for baking. They gift graciously as well. Gift the frozen dough to a baking friend along with a jar of our Specialty Sugars. Or bake them, ready to eat. We are partial to Pumpkin Spice. For coffee lovers, try Vanilla Latte Sugar or Espresso Sugar. Any way you roll them, they’re a sweet treat!
