Try making one of my favorite holiday cookie recipes: Sand Tarts, an old recipe from my Aunt Jene, originally from Joy of Cooking page 711.
tip 1: Make dough day before in Cuisinart food processor and refrigerate overnight.
tip 2: A heavy stone rolling pin gives you a better work out and it is better weight against the hard dough.
tip 3: This dough is frustrating at first to work with. The first batch is never as good as the following. Don't give up on this dough, it is crumbly at first, but as it warms up it melts together.
tip 4: Roll out the dough as thin as you possibly can. The thinner the better, trust me it is worth all the effort!
tip 5: Aunt Jene says 10-12 mins, Lola and I say 7-8 mins in our hot oven. The over done, dark brown crispy one's may become your favorite. They are mine!
