Grandmom’s Sand Tarts Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 pounds butter

2 cups white sugar

5 eggs

8 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

1 egg white

1 tablespoon milk

¼ cup cinnamon sugar

¾ cup pecan halves

Methods :

Step 1

Cream the butter, sugar and eggs together. Add just enough flour to stiffen. Dough should be slightly sticky. Place dough in the refrigerator and let chill overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a very small bowl combine the egg white and the milk. Set aside.

Step 3

Remove small amount of dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface roll it out very thin. Cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass dipped in flour. Place cookies on a cookie sheet and paint the top with the egg white mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and top with a pecan half. Repeat until all the dough is used up.

Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes and the edges are slightly browned. Watch these cookies closely for they burn very easily.
