PECAN SANDIES

Place them on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them for warm air to flow. Press the balls fairly flat using the flat bottom of a glass or a glass Pyrex measuring cup.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to fully cool.
Notes
Soften the butter to room temperature.
Many years ago, I started using Land O’Lakes butter in all my baking, and I have never looked back. The butter is high quality and very consistent.
Measure the flour correctly by spooning it into a measuring cup and then leveling it off with a kitchen knife.
For best results, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. It promotes even baking and browning, reduces spreading, and eliminates sticking.
Pro-Tip – Make the first batch a test run. Bake one or two cookies. This allows you to ensure the dough will not spread too much and test the baking time. If the cookies spread too much, cover the bowl with wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
For optimum results, bake one sheet of cookies at a time. Use multiple cookie sheets or let the single cookie sheet cool before dropping more dough on it as a warm cookie sheet can cause cookies to spread too fast.
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months in sturdy freezer containers.
