Our recipe is called Butter Balls in the original cookbook, with variations like Mexican Wedding Cakes (flatten out the cookies before baking) and a handful of others (including one that is a crescent shape – I wonder if one calls for vanilla extract?). My MIL calls hers Sand Tarts. Luckily, my husband now prefers the almond extract version, because my mouth gets very disappointed when I'm looking at what I think will be a butter ball that tastes like a sand tart! :^)

A woman from my church used to make these when I was growing up. I would look forward to them all year long!

We call them both Sandies and Mexican Wedding Cakes. Isn't it funny how the recipe name changes as it goes through generations?
