Vanilla-Bean Sables
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Greetings from the Netherlands! I had a chance to bake these off prior to leaving on vacation. These are the second sables we have made and we have more to come. I am so happy how these turned out as my cookie dough logs were not round. I used…
