Sandbakkelse (Sand Tarts)
Translated from Norwegian, the name of these cookies is "'sand tarts." They're most attractive if baked in authentic sandbakkelse molds, which can be purchased online or in a Scandinavian import shop. Most any decorative cookie mold will do, though, and the interesting shapes will make these tarts the focus of your cookie tray. —Karen Hoylo, Duluth, Minnesota

I've had this recipe for years, family doesn't think its Christmas without them. The family I got the recipe from did not use a mold, just rolled out super thin (almost see through), brushed with beaten egg white and sprinkled with a small amount of colored sugar. Bake just til edges start to color. Super crisp and thin and delicious. When I was first introduced to them, they had a small hole threaded with ribbon and hung on the tree.
What a great recipe. Also, you can buy the tarts from Bethany Housewares (a brand that specializes in Scandinavian dishes and tools).
