"These sables are simultaneously crisp but buttery, mildly sweet, golden-edged cookies and about as far as you can get from the “punishment” they translate to. Can a butter cookie alone make a trip worthwhile? Do I even have to tell you what I think?"

"The prettily scalloped edges on the bite size cookies, the crunch, and the buttery taste make me want to keep popping them in my mouth endlessly till I get a tummy ache."

"I can still recall the moment the robust buttery flavor and subtle sweetness hit my taste bud – it was heaven. Just like the French culture, these cookies present a paradox that we Westerners often struggle to decipher: how something so simple (cookies made from only butter, sugar, egg, and flour) taste so rich, luxurious, and opulent."

"The texture crisp, delicate, and crumbly, and a most beautiful shade of blond ("most" because due to the fact that they are handmade there are a few darker-toned ones which are even more beautiful), the sweetness understated, and the packaging very pretty."
