In reply to Eric. Hi Eric! The chocolate chips should work here. :)

12/10!!!! My first time making Sandies and this recipe is incredible! Super buttery crunchy soft! Loaded with pecan bits! I can’t wait to make some more and share with family and friends!

In reply to Martha. I'm so glad you enjoyed these, Martha! I'm not sure how they would work as a slice and bake though.

Great cookies!!! Do you think I could try them as slice and bake cookies? Or is the dough too soft for that?

In reply to Eric. Hi Eric, I personally have never investigated long-term storage of these cookies as they don’t last more than two days

Since I prefer the “sandy” texture of original Pecan Sandies type recipes, I substituted some coarse white sugar in the dough. It definitely added the crunch/gritty mouth feel I was looking for, without losing the rich crumble after the first crunch!

In reply to Eric. Hi Eric! It should be good for up to 3 days. :)

Hi Sam
How many days can I store my cookie dough in the fridge ? I prefer not to freeze the dough in the freezer. Thank you

In reply to Darlene. Hi Darlene! Pecan sandies are traditionally made without egg, this is because adding an egg would ruin the texture we're aiming for, which slightly crumbles and melts in your mouth. I hope that helps :)

In reply to Eric. Cookies were very good, sorry I didn’t double the recipe as it only makes a small batch..:) I was thinking I had missed seeing eggs as an ingredient in this recipe since that is almost a “given” in most cookie recipes.. Please clarify why eggs were not included in this recipe. How does that change the make up of a cookie? Thank you!

These cookies Good with powdered sugar or without, however I tried putting cinnamon sugar on them and they are fantastic too.

In reply to hynes jim. O no! Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I'm glad you figured it out. You definitely don't want your butter to be too soft. :)

Hi Sam
After numerous success’ I have had my first disaster with these. I followed recipe and use a scale to measure dry ingredients. First of all they were impossible to scoop and roll between palms. So, i tried cooling them in fridge like many other recipes. It allowed me to roll them but after 8 minutes in oven they were very spread out and runny. I threw them out and am stumped. I left the butter out 21/2 hours, think it got runny/oily? edit//It was the butter! Tried again, and as usual delightfulness ensued. Thanks

Outstanding. These are the best Pecan Sandies I have ever had.
I refrigerated the dough for about 30m.
The dough was quite dense after adding the pecans so I put on my plastic gloves and mixed it, worked great!
Again awesome cookies.
Thank you

Are these crispy? I’m looking for a homemade version of the Keebler Pecan Sandies.
