Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the Cookies:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork or your fingers to form a disc shape.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success:
Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Pecans: Toasting the pecans before chopping can enhance their flavor and add extra crunch.
Consistency: The dough should be thick and not too sticky. If it feels too dry, you can add a tiny bit of milk or water to help it come together.
These Pecan Sandies are wonderfully simple yet delicious, making them a great addition to any holiday cookie platter or for an everyday treat. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful cookies! 🍪🌰🎄
