mm, tasty cookie recipes!
when my family gets together for holidays, it's basically cooking, eating, and playing games, so we have many traditional christmas cookies : )
must tell a quick story... once when making peanut brittle, we discovered that our cookie pans were full, so one of my sisters had the idea that we could grease the tabletop and just pour the brittle out on the counter to cool... two or so hours later, envision everyone trying their hand at hacking at the peanut brittle with butter knives trying to pry it off! t'was an adventure, we had peanut brittle shards at least : )
Here's a recipe for Sandbakelser (Sandtarts)
so delicious...
Shell:
1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp almond flavoring, 3 cups flour
Cream butter, sugar, egg, and flavoring together. Beat in flour. Press into sandbakel molds, or little muffin pans work also. If using the molds, place them on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned, then remove from molds or muffin pan immediately and cool.
Filling:
1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup pecans
Put all the filling ingredients in a pot and boil for 1 minute
Then fill the shells with the pecan mixture and let cool
Hope you enjoy these!
