Buttery, rich and delicious, these classic almond sandies are my husband's favorite cookie and very popular wherever I take them. —Joyce Pierce, Caledonia, Michigan

Test Kitchen Tip
  • Sandies are a great shortbread style cookie. Creaming the butter and sugar is key to success with these cookies. Be patient, this can take a few minutes to get it just right.
