This Pecan Sandies Recipe makes the perfect buttery cookie. Classic shortbread is studded with butterscotch chips and chopped pecans for a rich, nutty treat.
Add the softened butter and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the butter is smooth and creamy.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the dough resembles a dry cookie dough.
Next, add the butterscotch chips and pecans and fold them into the cookie dough. Shape the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap.
