Num cookies Americ.
(Sandies cookies.)

My family favorite American buttery cookies with pecan nuts and confectioners sugar is very delicious and very easy to prepare.
This is a great recipe for family with young children. My little cousin likes to shapes these cookies, he seems very happy with getting his hands on the cookie dough. Letting the children help make cookies is a good, fun way for family to be together and best way to get the children interest in cooking. Beside most children love to get their hands busy and dirty. :)
Sandies cookies could store for several weeks but it never last to the next day at our home. :)
