SANDBAKKELSE (SAND TARTS)



Sandbakkelse (Sand Tarts) image

Translated from Norwegian, the name of these cookies is "'sand tarts." They're most attractive if baked in authentic sandbakkelse molds, which can be purchased online or in a Scandinavian import shop. Most any decorative cookie mold will do, though, and the interesting shapes will make these tarts the focus of your cookie tray. —Karen Hoylo, Duluth, Minnesota

SANDBAKKELS (NORWEGIAN ALMOND COOKIES)



Sandbakkels (Norwegian Almond Cookies) image

This is a traditional Norwegian cookie. It is made by pressing the dough into Sandbakkel tins. If you don't have sandbakkel tins, miniature fluted tartlet pans would work as well. If you google "Sandbakkel tins", you will see what they look like. Recipe from my hometown's Centennial Cookbook.

Tips:

  • Use good quality butter and flour. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your cookies.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before you store them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Sandbakelser are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give sandbakelser a try!
