These peppery French butter cookies are a grown-up's version of a milk chocolate bunny. Sandy in texture, with the flavor of chocolate shortbread, they melt in your mouth, with a salty finish that's a terrific contrast to the sable's sweetness.
You definitely won't want to share. I suggest doubling or even tripling the recipe to keep the peace. To keep the cookies nice and sandy, don't overmix the dough. Mine weren't perfect circles, but they disappeared so fast no one noticed.
