MILKY WAY® Sandies
These yummy, nutty treats will bring everyone to their feet!
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 15-20 min.
Decoration time: 5 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand MINIS
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 cookie sheets
What to do:
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, salt, vanilla and half of the chopped pecans (1/2 cup). Mix well until the dough is formed.
- Shape the dough into a 12-inch log. Place the remaining chopped pecans in a cookie sheet. Roll the log over the nuts until they’re completely covered. Wrap the log in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the log into 24 slices, each 1/2 inch thick. Place the slices on the prepared cookie sheet, each about 1 inch apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and immediately press a MILKY WAY® Brand MINI in the center of each slice. Cool completely before serving.
Tip: Nuts are funny—some people love all of them, some people love some of them, and some people won’t eat them at all!
Makes 24 cookies.
- You can exchange the pecans in the recipe with your favorite nuts, such as walnut or hazelnuts.
- To eliminate nuts completely, just don’t add any. Before slicing the dough into cookies, you can roll it in cinnamon sugar so it crusts around the outside.
