Pecan Sandies (aka German Drop Cookies)

October 26, 2015

These cookies are one of the few cookies my mom made around the holidays. She calls them German Drop Cookies. Which I have too. Until this year. I’m officially changing the name to Pecan Sandies, because my girlfriend Sandi, adores them, so it seems only fitting to name them such.

Ingredients

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1/2 cup sugar

1 3/4 cup flour

1 cup finely chopped toasted pecans

1/8 teaspoon salt

powdered sugar and cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients in a mixer until blended; dough will be soft. Scoop with small ice cream scoop onto baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes; let cool. Dredge in powdered sugar with a touch of cinnamon.
