Gluten-Free Almond Tartlets a slightly crisp and soft decorative cookie almond flavored cookie. Indeed, they are a traditional vintage Scandinavian favorite. Serve with the decorative side up or fill them with fresh berries and whipped cream. In Sweden, they are Mandelformar. In Norway, they go by the name of Sandbakelse (roughly translated as sand cakes). They are such a versatile cookie. Not only will these be on my Christmas table but they will also end up being served on December 13th, Sankta Lucia.Gluten-Free Almond Tartlets some with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a sprig of mint

Gluten-Free Almond Tartlets:

Consequently, it is hard to believe that the holiday season is here again. While this year is certainly one for the history books, it also makes me want to connect to the past. Needless to say, there is something so nostalgic about holiday baking as it ties us to our families. In all honesty, the holidays are a walk down memory lane. It specifically, wakes up our memories of years past. We remember baking with our grandmothers, mothers, and others we spend Christmas with.

In other words, it is kind of like the Charles Dickens, story of a “Christmas Carol”. It harkens us back to yesteryear with warm with a wistful yearning to reconnect with those no longer living. Of course, it creates new memories with those we love who live with us. Therefore, it also represents Chrismas Present. In any case, we hope the things we create this year will be remembered by our families in the future.

    These almond tartlets are a godsend! My husband has celiac, so I have been cooking gluten free for years now. Any patisserie style tiny dessert like this is his weakness, so I cannot wait to make these and then fill them with a custard and berries. Yum!

    One of the things I most enjoy in your posts is learning about interesting kitchen tools like these molds. And how gorgeous they are with the fruit and cream – I would certainly indent and fill mine. Yum.

    These tartlets are such fun. I love that they can be filled or not. I also really like your tartlet tins. I need to find some of those! Here in Italy we also celebrate Santa Lucia on 13th December with some traditional desserts and cookies!
