Description

Pecan Sandies are classic, buttery cookies with a crumbly texture and rich pecan flavor. These cookies are perfect for tea time, as a dessert, or even as a gift. The combination of butter, brown sugar, and toasted pecans creates a delightful and satisfying treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans (reserve ½ cup for rolling)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-5 minutes).
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Lower the mixer speed and add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  • Incorporate Pecans: Stir in 1 cup of the chopped pecans, reserving ½ cup for rolling.
  • Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls and roll each ball in the reserved chopped pecans.
  • Bake: Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, flatten them with the bottom of a glass, and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
  • Variations: Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor or substitute walnuts for pecans.
