Yummy! My mom is going to love these when I bring some home for Christmas. She is a big fan of pecans and this is right up her alley. Of couse the man and I also really like them. I double rolled them in the sugar like Barb suggested. I will say that these don't really spread much while baking so I was able to put them pretty close together. Thanks Barb for a new Christmas cookie standard!

This was my first time attempting pecan sandies and they were AMAZING!!! I made them this past Christmas for my husband's job and they were a hit! Of course I had taste-tested about a dozen! Lol I'm making them again tonight for New Year's. I definitely encourage anyone to try them as it is a quick, easy, affordable and YUMMY recipe. Thank you very much for sharing!
