These pecan sandies are the best! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love that they're not too sweet, and the pecan flavor is just right.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really flat. They still tasted good, but they didn't look very appetizing.

These cookies were a bit too soft for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

These cookies were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't taste like anything. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making these again.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan sandies, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! These cookies were really good. They were soft and chewy, and the pecan flavor was just right.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make them.
