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

Steps:
- In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add egg and extracts. Blend in flour. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375°. Using ungreased sandbakkelse molds, press 1 tablespoon dough into each mold. Bake cookies in molds until they appear set and just begin to brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes. Cool cookies for 2-3 minutes in molds. When cool to the touch, remove from molds. To remove more easily, gently tap with a knife and carefully squeeze the sides of the mold.

SANDBAKKELS (NORWEGIAN ALMOND COOKIES)
This is a traditional Norwegian cookie. It is made by pressing the dough into Sandbakkel tins. If you don't have sandbakkel tins, miniature fluted tartlet pans would work as well. If you google "Sandbakkel tins", you will see what they look like. Recipe from my hometown's Centennial Cookbook.
