Easy Sand Tarts

Crisp and sugary, these Sand Tarts are a lovely little baked treat I recommend you try next time you’re in the kitchen. Sunday afternoon is baking time in my house! I keep an eye out for new recipes during the week and save up the most interesting ones for the weekend. After Sunday lunch, when the kids are out and my husband is napping on the sofa, I turn on the oven and get baking! Last weekend I made sand tarts for the first time.

These Amish Cookies use an unusual frosting method. The cookies are rolled in confectioners’ sugar while they are still warm and then popped straight into a plastic bag, which creates steam and makes the sugar melt over the cookies, creating a kind of frosting. Unique and very delicious!

To make Sand Tarts, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Sand Tarts?

Steps to make Easy Sand Tarts

1	Cream the butter	1
In a large bowl, cream the butter until smooth.
2	Beat in the sugar and vanilla	1
Beat in 2/4 cup of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract.
3	Combine the flour	1
Add the flour and gently fold in until just combined.
4	Add the nuts	1
Mix in the nuts.
5	Chill the dough	1h
Form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour.
6	Heat the oven and prepare a baking tray	1
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
7	Shape the dough	5
Take teaspoonfuls of the dough and shape into 1 inch balls. Place them at 1-inch intervals on the baking trays.
8	Bake the cookies	25
Bake the cookies until turning golden and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
9	Sugar the cookies	1
Tip the remaining powdered sugar into a bowl. While the cookies are still warm from the oven, roll them carefully in the powdered sugar until coated.
10	Warm the sugar to form an icing	5
Place the cookies immediately into a plastic freezer bag and seal them inside. Leave them in the bag for 5 minutes, so that the powdered sugar melts and forms an icing.
11	Cool	30
Remove the cookies from the bag and leave to cool.
