SAND TART COOKIE RECIPE, PA DUTCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter, add sugar and beat until fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
• Combine dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Mix until combined.
• Wrap the dough into parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Spread the chilled dough onto a floured countertop. Roll it out to about 1/8" thick (adding flour as needed to keep the cookies from sticking).
• Using cookie cutters, cut them into shapes and carefully transfer the cookies to greased or parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Brush each cookie top with well-beaten egg wash.
• Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with cinnamon/sugar mixture and place a pecan or walnut halve on top, or sprinkle with chopped nuts. Or if you prefer, sprinkle the tops with Christmas sprinkles.
• Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Let them rest for about a minute then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

SANDBAKKELSE (SAND TARTS)

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add egg and extracts. Blend in flour. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375°. Using ungreased sandbakkelse molds, press 1 tablespoon dough into each mold. Bake cookies in molds until they appear set and just begin to brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes. Cool cookies for 2-3 minutes in molds. When cool to the touch, remove from molds. To remove more easily, gently tap with a knife and carefully squeeze the sides of the mold.
