Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c unsalted butter
3/4 c powdered sugar
2 tsp real vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
1 c ground pecans
1 tsp salt
powdered sugar for dredging

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F do not grease the pan
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, flour, pecans and salt. Blend well.
  • 3. Gather dough into a ball, wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • 4. Scoop and roll dough into small teaspoon-sized balls and place on a non-stick baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until barely golden. Remove, let sit for 1 minute then gently dredge cookies in powdered sugar. Cool completely and recoat.
  • 5. I want to note here a few things, I roll the balls after being refrigerated for a while and just keep the balls in a container for later use, this year I made 100 crazy right, I also have never rolled the balls after resting out of the oven for a minute then coated again I feel this is an unnecessary step as they coat just fine with one coating but if I made fewer I might do this extra step. I have also ground the pecans very finely and at times with a small ruff chop they are a bit dryer with the finely ground version but still very good with a ruff chop you do get the bite of a pecan which very appealing still not sure which I prefer. I also sift my powderd sugar

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

These cookies are really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a bit dry.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I've tried many pecan sandie recipes and this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

These pecan sandies are the perfect holiday cookie! They're buttery, nutty, and just sweet enough. I made them for my family Christmas party and they were a huge hit!
