Pecan Sandies

Pecan Sandie’s are one of my favorite cookies to go to when I don’t want something really sweet. This is a nutty-buttery short bread type of cookie that just hits the spot. I take the extra step of rolling them in sugar before baking them to give them just that tiny bit of sweetness as you bite into them. Hope y’all enjoy and don’t forget to give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.

 

1 &  1/2 sticks butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus more to roll cookies in)
