PECAN SANDIES
Buttery and crumbly, and just barely sweet, old-fashioned pecan sandies deserve a spot in your regular baking rotation, especially during holiday cookie season.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In the mixing bowl of a stand-up mixer, add the butter and sugars. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and salt and beat well to combine. Add the flour and mix on low speed until a dough forms. Add the chopped pecans and mix on low until pecan are incorporated into dough.
- Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 2-inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Using the bottom of a glass, press down on each ball to a 1/2-inch thickness. Press one pecan half into the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until the bottom edges start to lightly brown. Let rest for 3 minutes on the sheet trays, then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Steps:
- Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F (convection) or 350°F (standard). Line two sheet pans with Silpats or parchment paper.
- Toss the flour and pecans together in a medium bowl.
- Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the 90 grams/3/4 cup plus 1 3/4 teaspoons powdered sugar and mix for about 2 minutes, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until just combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate any dry ingredients that have settled there.
- Divide the dough into 30-gram/1 1/2-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and arrange on the sheet pans, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Press the cookies into 2-inch disks.
- Bake until pale golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes if using a convection oven, 22 to 25 minutes if using a standard oven, reversing the positions of the pans halfway through. (Sandies baked in a convection oven will not spread as much as those baked in a standard oven and will have a more even color.)
- Set the pans on a cooling rack and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar.
- The cookies can be stored in a covered container for up to 3 days.

OUR GRANDCHILDREN go through these cookies like locusts in a wheat field! I always tell my husband to try hiding them when the grandkids come, but their little noses find them every time. -Martha Crowe, La Plata, Maryland

- Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar, water, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Combine the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in increments and mix again for several minutes until the coarse crumb-like mixture comes together into a nice cookie dough consistency. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the pecans. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Form the chilled dough into 26 to 28 1-inch balls and place about 1- to 2-inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet (you should be able to fit them all on one large baking sheet). Bake 55 to 60 minutes until the bottoms of the cookies are just barely golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets (or just until cool enough to handle) then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place about 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll the cooled cookies in powdered sugar until well coated. For a pretty effect, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
