Pecan Sandies

“My grandfather was a great cook and inspired me. These cookies, made with fresh Texas pecans, were always in his cookie jar. You can’t stop with just one cookie. With Pecan Sandie dough, feel free to omit the pecans and substitute almonds or your favorite nut. You can also freeze the dough for up to two months.”
