Homemade Pecan Sandies Cookies Recipe

Oh. My. Goodness. You guys, my family inhaled these! This is for sure a new family favorite. Who knew? I have been making recipes with more simple flavors lately and I am getting awesome feedback! And I am right there with you – sometimes simple is best. These buttery cookies speak for themselves!

The BEST Homemade Pecan Sandies Cookies - Light, buttery, crisp cookies with chopped pecans!

There is something so wonderful (and addicting) about these delicate cookies. I tend to gravitate towards rich, chocolate loaded cookies, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed these! My husband loves this type of cookie, and my kids ate them like they were going out of style.

There just isn’t a time NOT perfect for making these. Christmas? Yes. Mother’s Day? Do it. Monday? Absolutely. See? Go make some cookies 🙂

    This recipe is awesome! I toasted the pecans before and substituted half the sugar for brown, they were perfect!!! Definitely a keeper

    This recipe was amazing, thank you!! I separated the dough into several bowls & added different topping like one bowl I added sprinkles, other bowl I added chocolate chunks, & other bowl I added pecans.. they baked up wonderfully.. I didn’t have cream of tartar so just added baking powder 1/2 tsp and worked fine ..

    I would have inhaled these, too! I love the store-bought kind but I would much rather have your homemade version.

    Pecan Sandies are my favorite store-bought cookie but I can’t remember the last time I bought them. I much prefer to bake cookies from scratch so I thank you for sharing this recipe. I really can’t wait to make these!

    Sometimes simple just wins. These are my moms favorite cookie, but I am not sure she has ever had them homemade before. Time to change that!
