Time 5h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup pecans
1 cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecans out on a baking sheet.
  • Bake pecans in the preheated oven until fragrant and lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely and chop in a food processor.
  • Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly mix pecans into butter mixture. Stir flour into pecan mixture until dough begins to come together.
  • Roll the dough into a ball and divide it in half. Roll each dough half into a 1 1/2-inch thick log. Wrap each log in wax paper and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap dough logs and cut into 1/3-inch thick slices. Transfer slices to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Make sure your butter is cold before you start creaming it with the sugar. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before you bake it. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.

Conclusion:

Pecan sandies are a delicious and classic cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pecan sandies every time.
