The recipe for this week's French Fridays with Dorie was for an intriguing cookie that you bake in one big piece then, as the name suggests, break in pieces. The dough is extremely similar to some of my favorite tart dough recipes - only with a distinctively saltier (in a good way) taste. In fact, the cookie dough is chilled thoroughly, rolled, glazed with an egg wash and decorated in the cross-hatch pattern with a fork before baking.
Once cooled and broken, all I could think with every bite was that it was like eating tart dough... only slightly different. Seriously, what's not to like about tart dough, so we enjoyed making these.
Though the overall time commitment to make the cookies takes at least a couple of hours, it is all in the chilling and baking. The dough comes together in the food processor and ridiculously quick to make. Add to that the fact that you don't have to do much to the dough once it's rolled out and these may be one of the least fussy cookies around.

Always handy to have non-fussy cookie recipe. You know, just in case of any cookie craving emergencies. :)
Yours turned out just like the picture in the book! Beautiful!
Great pictures.
These look perfect!
Exactly! Who does not like tart dough? Our cookie disappeared pretty fast and now they ask me for a repeat:)
I loved the crispy edges the best!
Your photos are very nice - I get the feel of a French kitchen somewhere in Provence:)
oh these look so good but I have a slight urge to pour syrup on them LOL :)
Wow- I had never thought of them as a tart type dough. What a great idea. These were nice but for our family they were not enough of a cookie to repeat as it is.....but I am thinking that if I treated them a bit more like a tart and added something on top....even like a jam...thanks for the inspiration !!
You had me at "tart dough." Can't wait to try. Hope mine look as delicious!
