Alpha Bakers -- "The Dutch" Pecan Sandies

 

Buttery sables are my favorite kind of cookies, and these fragile pecan sandies are a perfect example of the type. Made with crumbly pecans, cinnamon sugar, and browned butter, they have a rich lightness that mirrors their eponymous sandiness. My sister says, "I kind of get dry mouth looking at the words "pecan sandies," but I think if she had one of these, especially with black coffee, she might find it suitably moist. Just kidding, she's hard to please and doesn't drink coffee.
