Best Turkish Sand Cookies Curabies Recipes
UN KURABIYESI - MELT IN THE MOUTH TURKISH SHORTBREAD COOKIES!
In North Africa & the Middle East are many variations of the humble shortbread, they all go by different names but are all very similar in taste & appearance. This Turkish recipe is very similar to my favourite Algerian shortbread called Ghraybia. I also like to make these using 2 cups of Self Rising flour (omitting the baking powder) & to use a mix of 3 tbsp ghee plus margarine to make 2 cups (when doing this I omit the vanilla as I like to taste the sweetness of the ghee).

DUTCH SAND COOKIES
Every year before Christmas, my mom and I bake a tin of cookies for each of her sibling's families, our family friends, etc. We use my great-great grandmother's recipes; before she died, she asked my mother to carry on her Christmas cookie-baking tradition. This is one of the cookies we make every year, and one of my favorites. It requires very few ingredients which almost everyone keeps on hand. They turn out crispy and sort of a mix between a shortbread and spritz. Butter may be used instead of margarine. Cook time does not include the time these cookies need to chill. Servings and Yield are a guess; both depend on how you cut them.

GERMAN SAND COOKIES - HEIDESAND
This version contains nuts. Translated from "Back vergnuegen wie noch nie," one of my favorite German language cookbooks, acquired while living in Germany. German vanilla sugar comes in small paper packets and can be found in German markets - it is very fine & sparkly.

Steps:
- Beat butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Measure out just 125 grams of the granulated sugar and add to the butter, mixing well.
- Using a spoon, stir in the ground nuts, the flour, and 1 envelope of vanilla sugar (if you use the mixer now, you may toughen the dough).
- Form dough into two logs and wrap well in waxed paper; let chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 150 C.
- Have ready baking sheets lined with parchment paper (or greased).
- Slice off rounds of dough, about 1 cm thick, and place onto baking sheets.
- Bake in the center of the oven approximately 20 minutes per batch (they will be fairly light in color when ready).
- While the cookies are baking, mix together the remaining 45 grams of granulated sugar and the remaining envelope of vanilla sugar and place in a bowl.
- When you pull the cookies out of the oven,give them a few seconds to cool enough to handle, then gently drop the warm cookies one at a time into the sugar mixture to coat, then let them cool completely.
