These sand tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sand tarts turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I was a bit hesitant to make these sand tarts because I'm not a big fan of shortbread cookies. But I'm so glad I gave them a try! They're so light and flaky, and they have a wonderful flavor.
