Pecan Sandies
published by A Bromley on Mar 28, 2012
When I was growing up I had a neighbor who ran a Bed and Breakfast inn and her niece and I used to spend a lot of time together. She lived with her aunt so I used to visit the inn quite often. We could find these wonderful cookies or tea biscuits in her kitchen at least a couple times a week. They are so good. Here is how to make them…
PECAN SANDIES
Preheat oven 350 degrees
In a medium size mixing bowl combine
3/4 cup butter softened (use real butter for best flavor)
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. cold water
1 egg beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Beat until creamy and well blended
Sift together and Add
1 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. salt
Work in until well combined
Add
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Mix and knead together until well combined and you have
a ball of thick dough
Turn out on lightly floured board and pat down and roll out to
about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with small round or square cookie cutter and
place on cookie sheet leaving space between each cookie.
Place a pecan half in center of each cookie and press down lightly.
Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar over the top of each cookie
(Just a pinch)
Bake 350 degrees on center rack for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden
brown. Remove from oven and let cookies set for 3-4 minutes on cookie
Sheet then remove to wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
