FFWD: Secret Valentine: Port Chocolate Sables

Secret Valentine Cookies
A great big THANK YOU to Gracie from Food Fascination  for these delicious and beautiful cookies.  The family  loved them.  I had to hurry up and take the picture before they were gone.  Check out Gracie's Blog.  You will love it.
Thanks again:)

Port Chocolate Sables
2 sticks (8 oz.) unsalted Butter
½ cup sugar
¼ cup confection sugar
½ tsp. salt

CREAM TOGETHER.  Blend well , turn speed to LOW, then
ADD:
2 large egg yolks

MIX in by hand:
½ cup chopped and frozen, chocolate (I used Jacques Torres’ Bin 27 Port Chocolate)

ADD:
2 cups all purpose flour

Drape a towel over the mixer, so you don’t get flour everywhere
MIX on LOW until the flour disappears into the dough.  Don’t overwork the dough.
Divide into 2 and roll into a 9 inch log.  Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut into ½ inch rounds, place on baking sheets, one inch apart, and bake for 17 – 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let the sables cool on the baking sheet before lifting them on to a rack.
Cool to room temperature.

Enjoy!







Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

    I haven't looked at Gracie's Link yet but am wondering if these are Dorie's cookies - a recipe from her. Goodness, they look delicious. And, very, very French. Happy Valentine's Day, Geraldine. This was a fun project and, knowing Alice, we are in for many more. Enjoy your cookies.,

    These look great. I was thinking there was port in the recipe, but I see it's port chocolate. Fascinating! Have a happy Valentine's Day!
