This easy to make Sandies are better than storebought shortbread cookies. Rich, buttery, filled with pecans, and much more delicious than any pecan cookies out there. This homemade goodness is perfect for snacking or as a gift. My daughter always bring some to school. She said her friends love them as much as she does. These Pecan Sandies are her favorite school snack and after school snack. Well, what can I say she’s crazy about this made from scratch cookies.
I am no baker, but last summer I tried to do some baking, and from then on whenever I have time I bake. But I make an exemption since these Sandies are super easy to whip up and my daughter loves them, I bake them almost every day!
