Sandbakkels Recipe
Today, we're diving into the delightful world of Sandbakkels, a sweet treat with a rich history hailing from Norway.
Equipment
- Sandbakkels molds or tartlet pans
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Rolling Pin
- Baking sheets
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Step 2: Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the butter to firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Step 3: Shape the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the Sandbakkels molds or tartlet pans. Take a small portion of the chilled dough and press it into the mold, ensuring an even layer.
- Step 4: Bake to Perfection: Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool in the molds for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
