Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Pecan Sandies.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients in a tidy workspace, setting the stage for a delightful baking experience.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to work its magic.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white sugar, softened butter, vegetable oil, and sifted confectioners' sugar.
Step 4
Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture until it transforms into a smooth and creamy delight.
Step 5
Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
Step 6
Then, stir in the vanilla extract, allowing its warm aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 7
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
Step 8
This dry mixture is essential for creating the perfect cookie texture.
Step 9
Gradually add this blend to your wet ingredients, mixing until a lovely dough forms.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that delightful crunch in every bite.
Step 11
To add a touch of sweetness, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar into a small shallow bowl.
Step 12
Shape your dough into 1-inch balls, gently flattening them before rolling each one in the sugar to create a sparkling coating.
Step 13
Place these coated cookies on ungreased cookie sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between them for spreading.
Step 14
Now, it’s time for the magic to happen! Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 15
Once they’re perfectly baked, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 16
As the aroma fills your home, you’ll know that a delicious treat is just moments away.
Step 17
Enjoy the process and the delightful cookies that await you!.
