goodbye/fun facts....National Pecan Sandies Day (whether you say it
as ‘pee-can’ or ‘peh-kahn,’) it's a textured, crunchy, buttery,
tree nut cookie. The sandy (or ‘sablé’) is a type of sugar or
shortbread cookie. The word ‘sablé’ is French, meaning ‘sandy,’ due
to the crumbly texture of the cookie, which comes from the sandy,
breadcrumb-like texture when mixing the flour and butter. The name
also works because of the sandy color of the cookie. The
traditional pecan sandy has a toasted pecan pressed into the cookie
and is garnished with a flurry of powdered sugar... it melts in the
mouth and goes amazingly with a glass of cold milk or a hot
beverage like tea. The name ‘Sandies’ was registered by the Keebler
Company as a brand name in 1955 and Keebler makes 3 kinds of
'sandies'...plain, pecan, and cashew.
