Is Easy Pecan Sandies dough supposed to be so crumbly?
Yes. These cookies are meant to have a crumbly texture, similar to shortbread. The dough will come together just enough to form into the ball cookie shapes.
Should I refrigerate this dough?
You don’t have to refrigerate the dough for these cookies, but if you want the cookies to be more ball-like, you will want to chill the shaped cookies for at least 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats. If you don’t refrigerate them, they will just flatten out a little more. They will still taste great.
Nut Options:
Any finely chopped nut will work in these cookies. Walnuts and almonds are especially good alternatives to pecans. Alternatively, if you have nut allergies or just don’t like them in your baked goods, these cookies are still absolutely delicious without nuts.
