Sandbakkels
Sandbakkels means "sand tarts" because the cookies (which, flipped over, can double as tiny shells to hold cream and fruit) have such a fine, crisp texture. Find them in Shauna Sever's book Midwest Made: Big, Bold Baking from the Heartland.

Ingredients

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed about 30 seconds. Add sugars; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat on medium speed until combined. Add flour and salt; beat on low speed until well mixed, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Cover and refrigerate until dough is firm, about 2 hours.

  • Position oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly coat sandbakkels tins or other decorative mini (2-inch) tart tins with cooking spray. Pinch off walnut-size pieces of dough and place in prepared tins, pressing across bottom and a bit up the sides of the tins. (Chill remaining dough between batches.) Place filled tins 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through.

  • Line a work surface with newspaper or brown paper bags. When cookies come out of oven, transfer tins to paper and let cool 2 or 3 minutes. Invert tins onto paper and tap bottom of tins a few times to release cookies from tins. Let cookies cool completely on paper. Cool tins before making the next batch.

  • Eat cookies straight up or fill with custard, whipped cream and/or berries. Store unfilled cookies in an airtight container between sheets of parchment paper up to 1 week.

PREP TIP

Look for sets of fluted tins in thrift stores or online. If you don't have enough 36, you'll have to make these cookies in batches.
