Advent Calendar – Day 18 – Aunt Linda-Joy’s Sand Tarts
Image previewKaren has shared with us this delicious Christmas recipe that we cannot wait to try. Find the recipe below! For years, my grandmother would have everyone over to make Christmas cookies.  She passed away last year at the age of 95 and my cousin has decided to pick up the torch and carry on the tradition - starting with this recipe.  My Aunt Linda claims the recipe is hers and so it is.
