    Sand Tarts Recipe: This is a wonderful recipe from my mother-in-law. We make it every Christmas time and it is a family favorite!

    Sand Tarts is another holiday cookie recipe from my mother-in-law which we make every Christmas.

    Sand Tarts are traditionally a very hard cookie, in fact, if they are not hard - like almost teeth-breaking, they are not right! That is why you roll the out thinly - so you can get them in your mouth at an angle and bite sand tarts with your back teeth! This way, you are less likely to crack a tooth   ;)

    Sand Tarts are delicious when enjoyed with a cup of coffee. Dip the Sand Tart into the hot coffee and let it soak up some until it is a bit soggy like you would with Biscotti. Not only does it taste good it saves your teeth!

    Although Sand Tarts do not fall into the traditional foods category, they are a taste from John's childhood and memories are important so we choose to enjoy them!

    Tips For Making Sand Tarts

    • Try using different flavored sugar on top such as pumpkin spice
    • These keep well in an airtight container
    • Enjoy with tea or coffee for a sweet treat

    Calories 189 kcal

    Ingredients

      

    Dough

    • 4 cups flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 cups raw sugar
    • ½ cups whiskey
    • 3 eggs farm fresh
    • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

    Topping

    • ½ cups cinnamon sugar
    • 2 egg whites

    Instructions

     

    • Combine all the dough ingredients and refrigerate to chill overnight in a covered bowl.
    • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    • Roll the dough very thin (about ⅛ inch) and cut into diamond shapes. You may cut with cookie cutters if desired but I roll the Sand Tart dough out and cut it with a knife in long lines and then come back across with a diagonal cut.
    • Transfer the cookies to a prepared cookie sheet - I use parchment paper.
    • Brush the tops with egg whites.
    • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
    • Place half an almond or pecan on each cookie and brush again with eggs whites.
    • Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon sugar.
    • Bake at 350F for 10 - 12 minutes.
    • As the cookies cool they harder further.

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
