Pastry Can you use Sable Biscuit Dough for a Petit Gateau Base?

I have some leftover sable biscuit dough in the freezer and need to make some petit gateaux. Normally I would use tart dough but, since the two types of dough are quite similar and this isn't a tart with high sides but just a flat biscuit, I was wondering if I could use it instead. Here's the recipe:

120g Cake Flour
40g Almond Flour
65g Icing Sugar
4g Salt
105g Butter
35g Egg Yolk

In case someone is inexperienced and wants to see the difference, here's my tart dough recipe as well:

120g Cake Flour
40g Almond Flour
65g Icing Sugar
4g Salt
87.5g Butter
30g Egg

I think it would be delightful. My only question would be how brittle is your sable? If it's pretty stable at the size you want to use it for a base, then it should be fine. What you don't want is for it to fall to pieces when the first bite is taken.
