Cute and delicious Lemon Sables with a shot of vodka! Sables are a French dish which is a classic, descent version of cookies. It’s light, easy to make and is utterly delicious than normal cookies. I have given a twist to Lemon Sables with hint of vodka and some candies (tutti fruity). Generally they are made with lime zest and lime juice.

Lemon Sables

Sables resembles sand hence it’s called sables which has a crumbly texture, soft and golden in color. I am looking forward to make some more sables with different versions. You could also try and share them with us. It was my hubby’s birthday had made them on a special occasion.

Got very good response from hubby, his office mates and friends. Had made around a batch of 20-25 cookies. Got over in a days time. I barely got to eat one of them that too when I just baked them. Sables are suppose to be eaten with fruit jam Or preserves as it’s less sweet as compared to other cookies.

We ate our Lemon Sables with Blueberry Preserve. The combination was lethal and out of the world. Have got already requests to make more Lemon Sables ;)…. was too busy this week hence unable to post recipes. I am stable now so will try regularly posting recipes.
