HOMEMADE PECAN SANDIES

You CAN’T FAIL With This Recipe!
“Very good melt in your mouth cookies. Makes a bunch.”

MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH-YUMM! I have two words for all you who are having so much trouble getting your cookies out of the pan. PARCHMENT PAPER buy it, use it, you will have no more problems and you will never go back. Since some people said this didn’t have enough flavor, I compared it with other recipes. Due to this I used 2 tsp of vanilla, 1.5 tsp of salt, and of course, who would use margarine when you could use butter. Beat the heck out of the sugars and butter and oil and eggs so it is almost like cake batter. The dough is very soft so a quick chill in the fridge makes it easy to work with. Very well liked, have had someone ask for the recipe where ever I take them. Thanks Mary Ann-Permanantly in my cookie recipe box.
