Sandbakkels

2 cups butter, room temperature 

1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 eggs 6 - 7 cups flour

The tins are Gladd Company Style #45.

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add flour, one cup at a time until the dough is no longer sticky. Chill for two hours. Press walnut sized pieces of dough into tart tins. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 - 12 minutes. Allow tins to cool slightly before removing cookies.

As of 2012 the Kyle Olson 2011 recipe has a preferred substitution for the quantity of flour. One 2 pound bag of King Arthur Organic All Purpose flour makes a dough with a perfect consistency. My cooking times are closer to 18-20  minutes.  I suspect this is because I place my tins on very thick cookie sheets.  I also prefer the edges to be browned.


As of December 2016, Niels found it helpful to give the kids a goal. The average tin is a touch under 12 g, and a complete sandbakkel, in tin, before cooking, is about 27-29 g.
