Pennsylvania Dutch Sand Tarts

3 3/4 C. confectioner sugar
4 eggs
4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup real butter, softened
1 egg for egg wash

Mix sugar and butter until creamy and light. Slowly add eggs & flour to egg mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour (makes it easier to roll).
On a floured surface, roll out a softball-size piece of dough with a rolling pin until very thin. Try to roll it no thicker than 1/8”.
Then cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Brush lightly with egg wash and decorate with colored sugar sprinkles or with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Bake in 350 oven until light golden color (about 6-8 minutes). Careful not to burn.
