I don't think I have ever had these cookies, but I did find this recipe on About.com http://southernfood.about.com/od/cookierecipes/r/bl30409w...
* 1/2 cup soft butter or margarine
* 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
* 2 eggs, separated
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
* 15 unblanched almonds, split
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation:
Cream butter and 1 cup sugar. Add egg yolks, milk and flavoring and beat until light. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. Chill dough for at least 3 hours.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough very thin and cut with 3-inch star or other cookie cutter shape. Put on greased cookie sheets; put a split almond on each cookie. Brush with unbeaten egg whites; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and the cinnamon.
Bake sand tarts in 375° oven for about 8 minutes. Makes 30 sand tart cookies.
I hope this will cure your pregnant cravings!
