Whenever Mother made these cookies, there never seemed to be enough! Even now when I make them, they disappear quickly. These melt-in-your mouth treats are great with a cold glass of milk or a steaming mug of hot chocolate. —Debbie Carlson, San Diego, California

Simple and good tasting. This is the perfect recipe, regardless of the name. The cookies were a hit.

I gave this recipe a poor rating because these are NOT Pecan Sandies. These are more akin to Wedding Cookies.

I gave this recipe a poor rating because these are NOT Pecan Sandies. These are more akin to Wedding Cookies. I selected "Yes" when asked if I would make this recipe again, because they are good as Wedding Cookies.

These are so delicious and so easy to make. Just like a shortbread, only better with the pecans. The nice thing is all of the ingredients are staples in my kitchen. Will definitely make again.
