Delicious Pecan Sandies
 
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of confectioners sugar (may be sifted if desired)
1 cup of shortening
1 cup of butter
1 tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups of all purpose flour (may be sifted if desired)
1 tsp of cream of tartar
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups of chopped pecans
1/2 c of granulated sugar for decoration

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend together flour, soda, tartar and salt in a
large bowl then set aside.

Cream shortening, butter, confectioners sugar, and granulated until light and
fluffy (I like to use a mixer for this) then add the eggs one at a time. Then
add vanilla. Gradually blend dry mixture with the butter, sugars, egg and
vanilla mixture. Stir
in chopped pecans. Refrigerate dough for about 2hrs. Once dough has chilled,
roll dough into balls and then roll the balls in the granulated sugar. Bake on
cookie sheet for approx 12 minutes or until the edges are browned gently. Cool
on cooling rack. Makes about 5 -7 dozen depending on the size of the cookies.
