These easy-to-make cookies simply melt in your mouth! Ive passed the recipe around to many friends. After I gave the recipe to my sister, she entered the cookies in a local fair and won the best of show prize! —Sylvia Ford, Kennett, Missouri
A good large-batch sugar cookie recipe, but mild. Next time Ill add some lemon rind, and a pinch of salt.
can this be used for cutouts?
I made the recipe as instructed except I used a tablespoon portion size and still got just over five dozen cookies! I cant imagine how many cookies I would have gotten if I used a teaspoon as a serving size. The cookies are delicious... Not too sweet, perfect size, simple.
Do NOT alter the recipe!!! If you make the recipe exactly as described, you end up with thick drop butter cookies that have the special unique texture of Pecan Sandies. Do not roll them in sugar, press them flat with a glass, or add extra ingredients or it will ruin the crisp outside/tender inside texture. If you do it exactly as the recipe states, they are the perfect butter cookie. Not too sweet, very mild flavor, and perfect with a cup of coffee. They have that perfect Pecan Sandies texture from the ingredients and drop method.This is a SIMPLE cookie, and its perfection. Stop trying to jazz it up into something its not meant to be. Theyre perfect as is, and Ive eaten four of them already while baking the darn things!
I have had this recipe for several decades and they are excellent. My suggestions are: use corn oil, 1 1/2 t. vanilla and shape them into balls, place on ungreased cookie sheets and flatten with a glass dipped in sugar. I often make them for our church bake sale.
This cookie is a melt in your mouth shortbread. I took the suggestion of other ratings to add 1 tsp salt and vanilla. A cookie worth making, I added mocha chips and got lots of compliments.
These looked good and the texture is very good, crunchy but soft in the middle. Unfortunately that is all that is good about them. They taste so bland! I even doubled the amount of vanilla in them since I read some reviews that said the taste was bland. I was hesitant to make them since I read some bad reviews but when I looked at the number of good reviews that was in the majority. I only made 1/2 a batch so Im glad I didnt waste too many ingredients. I even used real butter. Ill not make these again and I removed the recipe from my saved recipe box.
Worst cookie I have ever made!! So dry and powdery!! Maybe I could add some liquid but I doubt I will ever make them again. Had to throw them all away because my family hated them too! Should have read the reviews!!!
I added cinnamon sugar on top before backing very good 5star
I tried this recipe and with a bit of tweaking my family loved it. The texture is fantastic. I made it according to the direction EXCEPT that I added a teaspoon of butter flavoring, an extra teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of salt. That gave it the flavor many seem to think is missing. so with this tweaking Im giving it 5 stars.
