sandies

Crumbly butter cookies

Sandies are a type of crumbly shortbread cookie, typically made with butter, sugar, and flour, often containing pecans or other nuts.

The name comes from their sandy, melt-in-your-mouth texture: Grandma's pecan sandies were always the first to disappear from the cookie tray.
