Nanny’s Sand Tarts
These sweet little morsels are not just any cookies; they’re a taste of nostalgia! Serve them at a party, or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overdo it—keep that dough tender!
- Once the dough is mixed, use your hands to roll small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until it’s well-coated. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them; you don’t want to overbake.
- Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it! Nanny’s Sand Tarts are simple to make and oh-so-delicious. Whether you’re indulging by yourself or sharing with friends, these cookies are sure to bring some sweetness to your day. Enjoy!
