Sand tarts are much thinner and crisper than sugar cookies. Unlike sugar cookies, sand tarts do not contain any levelers, resulting in their characteristic wafer-thin, delicate texture.

Description
Colorful sprinkles on cookies with seasonal shapes add an element of fun to any day.

Sweet and Traditional Baking
We make our sand tart cookies with flour, butter and sugar. We roll the dough out in a uniform, thin sheet and cut it into unique animals, fruits and holiday shapes. After baking the cookies to a light brown color and a crispy texture, we decorate them with vibrant sugar. The cookies snap with a satisfying sound and provide a heavenly, buttery taste.
A Favorite Treat in Lancaster
These famous sand tarts honor the Pennsylvania Dutch culture in Lancaster County and surrounding areas. You can stock up on these treats online or shop in person at one of our store locations and stands at nearby farmers markets. Keep in mind that some breakage in the container is common since the cookies are so thin. Kids of all ages have fun playing with the shapes and gobbling up every piece.

FAQs
Sand tarts got their name either from their sandy and crumbly texture, or from the traditional sugar topping that resembles sand. The name likely evolved from similar European cookies such as French sablés (which means “sandy”). These cookies were brought to Pennsylvania by German immigrants.
