Take-out Tuesday, Rosemary Pine Nut Sables
You’re probably wondering what a sable is…this one is not a furry relative of a mink…it’s a shortbread cookie!
Sable is French for “sand,” which refers to the sandy texture of this delicate and crumbly shortbread-like cookie
And these my friend are amazing
The recipe title intrigued me, but when I read it and saw the sugar I was confused…sugar in a savory cookie with pine nuts and rosemary?
Food of the Gods I say!
This is a simple slice and bake cookie, that’s not sweet, but just a wonderful buttery bite with just enough rosemary to tingle your senses and pine nuts for a pop of flavor and a little crunch~
This is a fast and easy dough, whip up a batch and keep in the fridge over the holidays, and slice and bake as you need them
cream butter and sugar
add egg yolks and flour
Dough will be slightly crumbly
Toast pinenuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Do not walk away, they burn easily.
Stir in rosemary and pinenuts
Form dough into a log and wrap in plastic wrap
yes, I bought the holiday Saran, which is pink and I love pink, but not so much on Saran

I am so wishing for a cookie right now, and if you were closer I’d run right over.
They sound good, I love rosemary and have yet to try a pine nut:@)
I am intrigued now and must try these cookies. Now, to find the time to make them.
My tree lights are giving me fits and no time to look for a new tree so I am way behind the decorating ball.
Jenna, this is my type of cookie…need to get some fresh rosemary…can’t wait to try them!
Have a wonderful week.
This is my kind of cookie Jenna, a little sweet and savory with the rosemary too! I love the convenience of making a dough to refrigerate and slice & bake later especially with the holidays!
These do sound intriguing. Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs and I am always looking for other ways to use it!
watch out, these things are positively addicting!
Hi Jenna,
I would just love to have these with my afternoon tea, the rosemary and pine nuts are a great combination. Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you have a great weekend and come back soon!

Jenna, I finally found time to make these…OMG, they are good! They are definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for telling me Marigene! I am thrilled that you loved them!
I am coming back to this post to let you know that I tried a different version of these. They did not have pine nuts, but I added them because I saw you do it here. There is no sugar, no eggs in the version I used. The sea salt and rosemary are applied to the top of the wafer before they are baked. They are INCREDIBLE! I used habanero cheese, so they are hot, salty, savory — crispy, too — all at once. But your post started me on this hunt for other versions to see what I could come up with!
thank you so much for telling me! Your version sounds amazing! Love the sea salt topping!
