Grandma’s Sand Tarts
Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t make my Grandma’s cookies! It is one of our family’s traditions and brings back fond memories. My job is to mix, roll & cut them out. Everyone else decorates them. DH said the trees were Blue Spruce this year….I guess we ran out of green sprinkles. oops! And I think that Santa hat looks like it belongs to Mrs. Claus! I doubt that Santa would be sporting pink.
(I have to admit….I decorated the hat. LOL.)
