Pecan Sandy Day

In Georgia, which produces over 100 million pounds of pecans per year, this cookie is a way of life. A pecan sandy is a shortbread cookie with pecans. It crumbles. It is not fancy. It is not trying to impress you. It is the cookie equivalent of sitting on a front porch in the South, which is exactly where it belongs.
