I tried these a long time ago, my very first time in St. Malo, and then couldn't find the proper name for them. Still don't know it, but when I tasted the Hazelnut Sable pastry, I knew I could be onto something close, so I created this recipe.
These are pretty darn near perfect comfort cookies to me. I didn't really know if the banana thing would work when I first figured out what the shop owner was telling me, but in for a penny in for a pound, and I was hooked. They were warm, fragrant, sweet, crumbly, chocolatey. It was sort of heaven in a little bite.
Here is my version, whatever they're called officially. I just call them delicious.

Need
- 1/2 Batch Hazelnut Sable Pastry ready to roll and bake Recipe
- 1-2 soft bananas
- 100 Grams chocolate dark milk callets BUY
Do
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with paper.
- 2
Roll the pastry out on my silicone mat (go get one in store if you still don't have it!)
- 3
Cut into rounds using a pastry cutter, being careful not to cut the silicone mat. Create one layer of cookies on the prepared tray making sure you have enough circles to match.
- 4
Break the banana into small pieces and place in the centre of the circles on tray. Top with a few chocolate callets. Cover with the remaining circles of pastry and pinch together to seal well.
- 5
Place a few chocolate callets on top of each filled cookie and then bake 15 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
- 6
If banana is not your thing, leave it out and just go with the chocolate. I really wasn't sure when I tried them to be honest, as it sounded a bit odd, but I have to admit, they became one of my fave things to buy, hot and gooey and delicious whilst walking around St. Malo.
