Pecan Sandies for the table

Satisfying Pecan Sandies that are soft, chewy and studded with chopped pecans that take me back to childhood!

To me they are a cross between shortbread cookies and satisfying butter cookies so clearly you can see why they are so notable.

As Cooks have confessed many times before, yes A cook LOVE to cook, but A cook am nowhere even close to being a baker. Not. one. bit. A cook think it is fun to play around with different ingredients and make all sorts of fresh breads, ut the task is a bit intimidating when you know other people will actually be eating what comes out of your kitchen. EEP!

What goes in

• 1 cup cake flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon. vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

How it comes together

1. Using the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar then add in vanilla.
2. While the mixer is on low, slowly add cake flour, until well combined, then mix in chopped pecans.
3. Cover and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Feel free to make any shape you'd like for these cookies, but the best way would be to roll them into a large ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes until edges are golden brown, enjoy!
