A favorite of our family and undoubtedly anyone who has ever tasted this delightfully delicious cookie!
These delightfully delicious cookies rolled in powdered sugar when warm are so, well, delicious. We call them Sandies. There are many names for these cookies but they all mean delicious!
EASY to make for festive treat
My daughter who loves to bake and her younger cousin made these for us. Somehow we managed to save enough for Christmas morning It wasn’t easy. On Christmas morning while opening gifts, Sandies are a perfect festive touch to our simple breakfast of warmed croissants, jellies, cheeses, ham slices, berries, juice, coffee and hot chocolate. Just slightly decadent!
We don’t usually make a cooked breakfast Christmas morning. We are under the illusion we eat less, saving room for the main meal later in the afternoon. Because our family will want something later, we’ll have a vegetable tray and maybe some cheeses like baked brie.
It is a quick easy to make cookie recipe with lots of star power for any occasion including ” just because” they are so delicious!
