Ingredients
Dough
- 4 c flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 c raw sugar
- ½ c whiskey
- 3 eggs farm fresh
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Topping
- ½ c 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.
