One of the first recipes students usually learn in pastry school, the French butter diamond cookie is a classic. Typically rolled in sugar, the name comes from the appearance the sugar gives to the cookie-resembling many glimmering diamonds. The simplicity of the dough combined with the ease of the baking and the ability to get as creative with it as possible means this cookie is one of our absolute favorites. So, follow along with one of our online pastry school chefs as we show you how to make this famous cookie recipe.
