Moldy Mice (Sand Tarts)

Sometimes it's all in the name! I was randomly flipping through the Charleston Receipts, the 1963 edition, and found this gem. To be honest I never looked really looked closely at this cookbook because it did not interested me. It's not that old and I am not into collected recipes.

Apparently these are also called "Sand Tarts" but what is the fun in that?!
 Easy looking recipe with easy ingedrients! It does not look like there is enough sugar though...
 Mix it seperately...
And then together!
 The dough was very dry and made it difficult to roll into small bars. This was definately not going to make 3 dozen cookies!
 Smells so delicious! Every kitchen should smell like pecans cookies!
 Everything is better rolled in powdered sugar!
 Ta Da!

They taste pretty similar to Russian Tea Cakes but a little dryer. All in all not bad but nothing special, except for the name. I still don't know how I was suppose to get 36 cookies out of this and I had to lower the baking time a couple of minutes.

My Rating: Good but not enough to make again.

Friends and Family Rating: "Yum!" "These taste like something you have made before."

  1. You have got to be kidding. These cookies are the bomb. We've been making them for over 50 years in my family. Easy peasy recipe.
