Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
- Mix ground pecans with flour and salt, and add to butter mixture. Beat, beginning on low speed and increasing to medium, until combined, about 1 minute.
- Lightly flour palms, if necessary, and roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place on an ungreased baking sheet 1 inch apart. Bake until just brown on edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheet while still warm; sift confectioners' sugar over tops.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of the baking process.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a more tender and flaky cookie.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final flavor of your cookies. Use the best quality butter, flour, and nuts that you can find.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Conclusion:
These pecan and sour cream sandies are a delicious and festive cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
