The Best Sandtart Recipe Ever!

I have a weakness for rich, decadent desserts.  I have never understood magazines that featured 'Recipe Makeovers' where they take something completely amazing & try to put a healthy spin on it.  

Sometimes you just gotta make it like it was meant to be...and then hopefully exercise some degree of self-control and moderation in eating.

This is a Christmas cookie recipe that will challenge you in the area of self control.  It is probably one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes.  I got it from a lady I used to work with years ago.  The employees would make a batch of their favorite cookies to share with their coworkers & we compiled the recipes for those cookies into a booklet.

Here is the recipe for (The Best Ever) Drop Sandtarts...

1 cup butter (no substitutes)

1 cup margarine (I have a thing about margarine, so I just go ahead & substitute real butter)

2 cups sugar

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix well.  Chill dough.  Roll into small balls and flatten with a juice glass.  Oil bottomof glass and dip in cinnamon-sugar mixture or use a cookie schoop and flatten a little with your fingers.  Decorate with nuts or your choice of sprinkles.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.  Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet.  Keep dough well chilled or it will stick to your hands when forming balls.  Covered dough can be refrigerated for a few days.

Enjoy!
