SAND TARTS
Mercy all those cookies! LOL last night around 8:00 I go into the kitchen & start pulling out my favorite recipes, hubby is trying to get ready for work & ask who you taking those to/ I reply my blog! LOL
this recipe is one of my favorites, the card is well used as it’s typed out on a typewriter from my mother-n-law way back in the 70’s yep I’ve had it that long along with many others, 
I’d like to make a special scrapbook of all her recipes she’s given me along with my 98 year old Aunt etc ok back to the recipe: cream 1 c.butter with 4 Tabs' powdered sugar adding 3c.flour gradually
cookie dough will be very course & dry like, don’t get scared you can do this lol 
after the 3rd c. of flour it’s best to start working the dough with a fork or your hands “if clean” LOL then add pecans 
roll out small log shapes & shape into 1/2 moons
bake @ 350 for about 15 min, depending on how thick you make them will determine the length of time to bake, watch them carefully as they look the same coming out as they do going in
while cookies are still hot from the oven, roll in powdered sugar, this recipe does not call for sugar, the sweetness comes from the powdered sugar
at this point I’m ready for more pictures & hubby is reaching…oh no you don’t I haven’t taken a picture for the blog yet geeze!, week 6 he should know this by now LOL

Don't be one bit surprised if a perfect stranger shows up on your doorstep with an outstretched hand (or wing, in this case) and begs for those cookies! Helen!!! What are you doing to me???

Nanna Helen,

Makes me very hungry.
So glad you are a blogging buddy of mine....I'd take the cookies if I could! Haha

These sound yummy. I'm there with you baking up delicious treats just to post about them on the blog. My family is starting to get the hang of not touching anything until I have photographed it. My husband is good about asking me before he eats anything, just in case. :)
I have never heard this cookie called sand them. They are dangerous for me to have around. ;)
These look so yummy! My husband is also "getting the hang of" asking if it's safe to eat the goodies before digging in!
those look amazing, but I have never heard of tabs before, is that a cup? i must know, I want to make these:)
