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

Time 25m

Yield 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour

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.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a huge fan of anise, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These sandbakkelse were a hit! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I used a cookie press to shape them and they came out so delicate and beautiful. The flavor was also amazing, with a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.
