French Sable Cookies (Breton Cookies)

My parents brought me a present from Paris and it was the most beautiful box of cookies in my life! And the cookies were amazing! I could not tear myself away from them. And when they ended, I was very upset but decided that I needed to learn how to do the same!

Try to make these cookies and you will be transported to the streets of Paris with a cup of coffee and delicious Sable Cookies in hand.
