This is my beloved Nana's recipe, passed down from her mother who came to the U.S. from the Black Forest region of Germany. <br /> <br />My Nana herself was born and raised in Pennsylvania Dutch country. No matter where we moved, Nana and PopPop would pack up their car and come visit, bringing all the goodness we had left behind: sausages, scrapple, Cope's corn, Martin's hard pretzels, and best of all, Nana's homemade treats. Aluminum canisters held homemade sweet and salty wonders from Nana's kitchen including the Holy Grail of cookies: sand tarts. <br /> <br />Nana's sand tarts are THE holiday cookie in our family. Paper-thin butter cookies. Simple. Make ahead. Buttery crunch that quickly melts on your tongue. Great for a slice and bake hot cookie when friends drop by. <br />Bet you can't eat just one!
