Crisp and loaded with goodies, these are my husband's favorite cookies. I used to bake them in large batches when our four sons still lived at home. Now I whip them up for our grandchildren. -Alice Kahnk, Kennard, Nebraska

I LOVE this recipe and have made it many times since it came out in 1998. It makes a big batch so I freeze some for later.

Over the years I've made some changes to make a lower fat pecan version. Here's what I did: substitue butter flavor shortening for butter (you may need to add a few drops of water to make the cookie dough easy to handle), substitute 1 cup of chopped pecans for the 2 cups of almonds. I've even skipped rolling the dough in sugar without my family missing the extra sugar.

I encourage everyone to give Toffee Almond Sandies a try, one of the best cookies I've ever tasted.

These cookies are wonderful. I also make them at Christmas. They are now a family favorite.

Oh my word! These are the best cookies of all time! They are light and crispy and buttery... everything good sandies are supposed to be. They are delicious and after making them once they became the family favorite cookie. Thank you Alice for sharing your wonderful recipe with the rest of us. You rock! :)
