Say hello to Pearl (top) and Joy (bottom). Joy is 5 1/2 months old and Pearl is 3 1/2 months old. I adopted them both from the Humane Society within a week of losing Allie. It was the first time in over 20 years that I didn't have a cat, and I couldn't take it. M. travels a lot and I get lonely.
Oh, did you come here looking for sables? Sables from Baking From My Home to Yours? For Tuesdays with Dorie? Of course you did. And I did make them, but how cute is this...
Moving on to the sables...
It was Bungalow Barbara's turn to pick. These sables were easy to make, though hard to roll into round logs and mine ended up looking more like flat tires than perfect circles. I opted to make mine cinnamon, and with almost 2 teaspoons of my favorite Penzey's Vietnamese cinnamon, they were redolent with bold, spicy cinnamon flavor. They had a lovely, sandy texture and delicate crumb which was highlighted by the crunchy Turbinado sugar along the edge. They are perfect with a steaming cup of chai on a cold day.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear a commotion in the bedroom...

Awww what cuties!
Adorable! Much more fun to look at then some cookies!
So adorable. Kittens are the best.
Aww... so cute! Umm, no cookie pics?
The last picture is too precious!
How cute are those kittens?! I'm dying!
Awww! Your kittens are darling. I remember how crazy it was around here when Snowball was a kitten. I can't imagine two! Cinnamon sounds like a yummy addition to these great cookies.
Oops, thanks Clivia! Photo of the sables is up.
Pearl and Joy are adorable! I have never had cats, but they look like marvellous fun. And your cookies look good to me - much rounder than mine!
Great looking sables! Im glad you liked them!
What darling kitties!
Thank you for baking along with me this week, despite kitten distractions! Your cinnamon sablés look good to me!
P.S. I did post some hints on keeping them round on my blog. Maybe for next time...
How awesome that you adopted two kittens. I wish I could bring myself to get another dog, but I just can't. Soon, but not now.
Anyways, those cute little faces totally distracted me from the cookies. And really, what's more important? (psst - kittens!)
Love the kittens!! Cinnamon in the cookies sounds great.
Pretty kittys! Pretty Cookies! I wonder how they would taste with the Chai IN the cookies.
I'm too distracted by the cute kitties to notice the sables! I'm glad you have some new furry friends to keep you company. The cookies look yummy too.
Love the adorable cute kitties. :) I don't know what we will do when we lose our kitty. Your cinnamon sables look delicious!
Cookies--great!
But yay!!!! for kitties! They are adorable! SO wish I wasn't allergic! Happy for you!
I'm dying over your kitties! My husband is allergic and it kills me. Your cookies look delicious, too. I'll have to try that variation!
Oh, I'm so glad you have 2 new kittens - they're absolutely adorable!
The sables look terrific! I made mine with lemon but I definitely want to try a spice version too.
They are PRECIOUS!
Awwww! Congrats to you on your newest arrivals. Pearl and Joy are truly adorable! Lots of luck and love to you! Nice cookies, too. ;o)
Your cookies are great but the kittens win. It has been a while since we had kittens. Our neighbot's cat got into my linen closet and gave birth to six adorable babies which the neighbor would not take. I had fun finding them homes and keeping two of them.
Uh, the cookies. They were really good although mine were really flat.
Pearl and Joy are just the cutest lil things ever! And I love the cinnamon + turbinado combination of your cookies.
I have kitten envy...they are so cute!
Yep, I came looking for sables, but was extremely happy to see Joy and Pearl...Allie would be so proud of you adopting them like this, you know she would! They are adorable. Oh, and the sables are very nice, too!
