Grandmom Shrom was proud of her delicate, thinly rolled sandtarts. They were
baked lightly golden to melt in your mouth. She was very particular about how they were made and were very difficult to replicate. (If you've ever tried to roll out sandtarts, you know what I'm talking about!) A widow with four children, she baked and sewed for income to help support her family. My father and uncle delivered pies and other baked goods in a wagon to the neighbors in Chester, PA.
Sandtarts were a Christmas staple. Each family took home a carton of sandtarts as part of their Christmas present (along with her other varieties of cookies). The round shape with a hole in the middle and sprinkled with granulated sugar, was the main event. Cousins loaded a stack on their fingers and disappeared with the treat!
Today's cookie is the same secret recipe, the same thin, crispy cookie but with the option to personalize and customize as you like.
