Chocolate sables are a type of French shortbread, though with a bit more chew than the usual shortbread and rich in dark chocolate. Dubbed World Peace Cookies by Dorie Greenspan, they are a roll, chill and slice refrigerator cookie that is rich and delicious.

Chocolate Sables - World Peace Cookies

If you're looking for a great chocolate cookie, this indeed is one.

If you're a food blogger, these are pretty much old news for you.

I, on the other hand, wasn't in that loop, but, I needed some chocolate cookies to use for a crust on my Peanut Butter Pie, and when I received my September issue of Bon Appetit magazine, I ran across these featured lovelies by Dorie Greenspan and thought I'd give them a try!

They apparently made the rounds across the blogosphere early last year during a round of Tuesdays with Dorie - a group of food bloggers who bake something from her cookbook, Baking From My Home to Yours, and then post it on Tuesdays.

Not that I have ever participated in that - if you pop by here with any regularity, you already know that I am not much of a baker, but... having everything on hand, I decided to give these chocolate morsels a go. 

I've been kinda craving chocolate here anyway - the kind that a tiny, foil-wrapped, milk chocolate egg, leftover from Easter won't quite squelch.
