Christmas Party 2012 - Cookie X - Trevs pecan sandies

Trevella's Pecan Sandies
1/2 cup real butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
~~~
Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla and salt. Gradually add flour and fold in pecans.
~~~
Roll dough into balls and flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
~~~
Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until edges are just slightly turning golden. Do not over bake. Parchment paper is especially nice (but not necessary) with these cookies as they tend to stick where ever a pecan touches the pan

My mother-in-law made the best pecan sandies ever. She doesn't bake anymore so the onus fell on me, and I was so glad I was able to master her recipe to please her each holiday time. Mini-madame has since taken over and she's brought many smiles to her grandmothers face with the pecan sandies. Those cookies have a very special place in our family history.

LOL...Gather acting up again, eh?

I guess because this is a food group, Gather has decided to eat my comments. It's actually happening all over Gather; eat the comment, post two!
Sonia M. Jan 5, 2013, 12:05pm UTC
I know...I'be gotten to the point that I copy and save any comment I make and then refresh the page several times until I see it show up or paste it into a new comment... So annoying!
Carrie Marie P. Jan 4, 2013, 10:10pm UTC
yummy, wish I had some a big cup of tea right now!
Sonia M. Jan 4, 2013, 10:22pm UTC
That sounds like a plan! Thank you!
