Vintage Pecan Sandies
This Pecan Sandie cookie recipe goes all the way back to my youth, so it is truly a vintage recipe. These cookies will melt in your mouth and I have never been able to eat just one. This recipe was given to me by my girlfriend whose family owned the bakery in my hometown, where these cookies were very popular. I am pairing the cookies with one of my Grandmothers Cookie Jars that I am so blessed to have today. Delicious vintage pecan sandies for a very special vintage cookie jar!

My grandmother always had a package of pecan sandies at her house. We would sit down and enjoy them over a visit. I wish that I had her cookie jar. Thank you for bringing back those memories!
ReplyDeleteHi Marge,

I just love that cookie jar that belonged to you mother! The cookies sound wonderful and remind me of Mexican Wedding cookies, also known as Russian teacakes or Snowballs. I'd sure enjoy these with a cup of tea, and I'd probably have to dunk a few!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteMiz,
ReplyDeleteDH is my cookie monster and pecan sandies is one of his favorites. I've made them in the past but never have dusted them with confectioners sugar. That does sound good and it makes me think of the store-bought cookies by Archway that we've gotten in the past at Christmas time. Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite cookies are sandies. I love any cookie that is like a shortbread. It's all that butter! Thanks for sharing at the What's for Dinner party! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI love these old-fashioned cookies, and your heirloom cookie jar is priceless!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Miz Helen! My family loves these and do you know, I have never made them? Well, that's about to change. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and thanks for sharing with us at Farm Fresh Tuesdays Blog Hop. Your cookies are one of my features this week, be sure to stop by to see your feature!
