Copycat Pecan Sandies

Updated: Oct 6, 2023 by Mindee ยท This post may contain affiliate links ยท 4 Comments

These melt-in-your-mouth copycat pecan Sandies are to die for! Their crispy, nutty flavor will leave you begging for more!

A stack of pecan sandies.

Today I am sharing my copycat recipe for pecan sandies. Pecan sandies make me think of summer, and at my house, we are ready for summer!  I love their crispy nuttiness.  

And, call me strange, but I love to eat pecan sandies with a nice cold coke. Yup, coke, not milk, just the way my Grandma served them. So give them a try, and let me know how you like them!

What are pecan sandies?

They are a type of sugar/shortbread cookie. Their texture is a melt-in-your-mouth crumbly crunch. Some have ground nuts like these ones, and some don't. Sometimes this type of cookie is dusted with powdered sugar.

How to make pecan sandies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line some baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Measure out ยฝ cup of the pecans and pulse them in a food processor until they are finely ground. Be careful not to process them into nut butter, though. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla.
  5. Add the baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix well.
  6. Stir in the ยฝ cup ground pecans and the remaining ยฝ cup pecan pieces.
  7. Stir in the flour, mixing well.
  8. Scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets by the tablespoonful. Slightly flatten each ball of dough. I use the lightly floured bottom of a juice glass.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. The bottom edges should be lightly browned. Cool and eat!

    Yummy! IMO, they're a little on the salty side. (I used unsalted butter, and the full 3/4 t salt. I'll try 1/2 t next time.) Still delicious, though! Thanks for the recipe! ๐Ÿ™‚
