Last weekend, I decided to tackle cookies that travel well, because...who doesn't love to get a batch of homemade cookies in the mail during the holidays?? Using my trusty Martha Stewart cookie magazine, I was able to identify these yummy, buttery pecan sandies as the perfect recipe to try. These taste a lot like shortbread cookies, but with a pecan crunch, and are perfect for eating with a big glass of milk or tea.
My mom happened to be in town visiting, and not only dropped off some seriously beautiful German and Italian ornaments from the 30s, 40s and 60s, but also helped me out with a fun holiday project I've been working on (more on that soon!). To thank her, I wrapped up a few of these sandies in parchment paper, tied it up with festive red and white baker's string, and stamped the bottom with a light-string stamp from Paper Source. Very cute and very simple.
