About

These sablé cookies are delicious served as is, if you prefer. But the filling with maple syrup and toasted walnuts adds wonderful flavor and decadence. This is an ideal do-ahead recipe; in fact, the cookies are best not served immediately. Make them at least an hour before serving; they’ll still be delicious a day or two later.
