Roost Sablé Cookie
Description
I’d never heard of a Sablé cookie before Animal Crossing (by the way, it’s a French word that’s pronounced “sah-blay”). But kind of randomly on a trip to Taiwan, I came across some Sablé cookies in the shape of Miffy the bunny from Japan. They were so delicious (and they don’t sell them anymore) that I resolved that one day, I would attempt to make my own.
Sablé cookies are also known as “Breton” or “French Butter” cookies. They originated in the town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe in northwestern France around 1670. The word “Sablé” means “sandy”, but don’t let that put you off, as it’s just referring to the texture of the dough, which feels like shortbread dough. The main difference is that in addition to the massive amounts of butter that are in traditional shortbread dough, the French add egg yolks. The result is a delightfully crispy and buttery cookie. They’re as popular in France as chocolate chip cookies are in the US.

How to get it IRL
An Italian in My Kitchen has one of the best recipes for these cookies. It's a simple recipe that includes butter, sugar, egg yolks, flour, and vanilla. Just follow the recipe to make the dough and then roll it out, not too thick, not too thin.
Before you do that, though, go to Etsy and buy a Brewster Cookie Cutter. Etsy seller "FractionLab" appears to be one of the first to create and sell this cookie cutter. There have been a lot of copycats, but they're all either too small or didn't quite match the exact design that Animal Crossing uses. What's nice about this cookie cutter is that it yields a big cookie that's about 4.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Since it was 3D printed, you need to hand-wash it, but otherwise it's safe to use for cutting and pressing your dough with the perfect design.
