So sad to hear this.  Thanks, Joan.  Azalealady was a very nice person.  Good journey, Jo.

Hi guys.  I am around.  Thanks for your concern.  I still check in now and then but don't post.  Don't need the drama, or need to be challenged and antagonized with every post from certain posters.  I'm just not into that.

Flowergirl, I bet yours are a lot prettier than mine.  As for the egg yolks, don't eat these before a cholesterol test.  LOL

Here is our family Sand Tart recipe:

MY SAND TARTS

2 C. sugar (1 lb)

yolk of 6 eggs

1/2 lb butter, softened

2 C. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cream of tartar

Cream sugar and butter. Add yolks. Mix flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and add to butter mixture. Form dough into a log and chill. Heat oven to 375'. Slice cookies as thin as possible (paper-thin) and put on an ungreased cookie sheet. If dough gets too warm and doesn't slice well, rechill for easier slicing.   Sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles. Bake until cookies just begin to color,  about 8 minutes. Cool a few moments and remove from cookie sheet.
