Grandmom's Sand Tarts image

My Grandmother didn't have much money. She was widowed young and she had seven children, so at Christmas she would make these cookies and give each family a box. These cookies are a very fond memory for me. I now make them for my Grandchildren.

Time 8h30m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

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

These sand tarts are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few extra egg yolks after I make a batch of meringue or mayonnaise. This is the perfect recipe to use them up.
