How to Bake Blue Cheese Sables

Yields: 24 cookies

Preparation time: 4 hours

Cooking time: 20 mins

Ingredients needed to make Blue Cheese Sables:

• 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup blue cheese, at room temperature
• 18 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ tsp salt

Cooking instructions for Blue Cheese Sables:

• Place the cheese and butter in a bowl and beat them with an electric mixer, set at moderately high speed, for a minute or until they are well combined.
• Tip in the sugar as well as a dash of salt and continue to beat for another minute or until it turns creamier.
• Add the egg yolks and beat them thoroughly into the mixture until well mixed and form a sticky batter.
• Fold the flour gradually into the mixture, while beating it into the mixture after every addition, until all of it is incorporated to form a flaky dough which clumps when pressed together.
• Roll the dough into a 2’’ thick cylinder and cover it with a cling film.
• Leave in the fridge for about 4 hours while warming up the oven to 350 degrees at the end of the last hour.
• Spread a parchment paper across a baking sheet and set aside.
• Carve out ½’’ thick slices from the dough cylinder and arrange them on the lined baking sheet, an inch apart.
• Bake in the hot oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges brown slightly.
• Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely.
• Store them in an air-tight container for as long as a month.
