These scrumptious little cookies have many names. They are called everything from Pecan Sandies to Mexican Wedding Cookies, Snowball Cookies, Tea Cookies, or even Snow Cookies, as my son named them when he was a toddler. Usually, what you call them depends on what name they were given when you enjoyed them as a child. When I was growing up, my mother would make these delectable cookies that my daddy called Pecan Sandies. The delicate, delicious little bites of crumbly, buttery cookie encased in a dusting of powdery confectioner’s sugar were always a special treat that we loved! She made them for showers or brunches – and always at Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure you may have had a similar cookie before. What do you call them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These beautiful snowy white cookies get everyone’s<\/span> attention when added to a Christmas Cookie Tray<\/a>! <\/meta>They are also egg-free, making them a perfect treat for those with egg allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the melt-in-your-mouth crumbly texture these little cookies have! My recipe uses chopped pecans, which add to the delicate buttery crumble. Since there is no egg that would give them a chewy texture, the butter, nuts, and flour give them a buttery, nutty, crumbly texture that is addictive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I give options later to make these without nuts for those with nut allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though this cookie is affectionately called many names, they are so simple to make! They only have a few ingredients and come together quickly. They can easily be made ahead or even frozen, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how I make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
