Sandbakkelse

Serves 36 as Dessert.

This is a traditional Norwegian Christmas cookie that my mom and grandma have baked for as long as I can remember. Apparently since none of my cousins have taken up baking much, I am the torchbearer of the cookies.

Though they aren't intended to be filled, they definitely lend themselves to it. As kids, my brother and I love to put anything sweet and scoopable into these cookies but the hand down winner continues to be any kind of minty ice cream.

You can find actual sandbakkelse tins online but small fluted tart tins work too. We usually do 3" and 1.5".

• 3/4 c sugar
  
• 1 c butter
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 tsp almond extract
  
• 1-1/2 c flour
  

Cream sugar and butter. Add egg and dry ingredients. Add flour and mold into Sandbakkels forms. Bake in oven 300 F til golden brown.
