PECAN SANDIES

Dense and buttery, this cookie is closely related to shortbread, which originated as a holiday treat in ancient Scotland. These pecan sandies are simply delicious.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup pecans, finely ground
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

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:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the ingredients for the dough.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more butter or water until it comes together.
  • If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour until it is no longer sticky.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking to prevent it from spreading.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
