Chocolate Pecan Sandies
Snowy white on the outside and chocolaty on the inside - these Chocolate Pecan Sandies are a yummy twist on the original. The cookie is crunchy with the classic texture of a Sandies cookie. The cookies themselves are not overly sweet and so rolling them in powdered sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness to this delightful cookie.
