Sablés Normandes à La Cannelle are a type of French shortbread cookies. They are made with butter, sugar, and flour, and they are flavored with cinnamon. This recipe has a unique twist on classic sablés by adding boiled egg yolks to the dough for extra richness and tenderness. Sablés Normandes à La Cannelle are perfect for a holiday gathering or a cozy night in. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, but they are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and mash them with a fork until crumbly.
2.	To the same bowl, add the flour, soft butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough.
3.	Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
4.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5.	Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out to about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thickness. Cut out circles from the dough with a cookie cutter.
6.	Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Poke them with a fork a few times.
7.	Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
