Homemade Pecan Sandies

For a nutty twist, try using walnuts or almonds in place of pecans. If you have picky eaters at home, you can also drizzle some melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a sweet variation. For a more festive holiday version, add a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough, or dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles.
