Pecan Maple Sandies

November 4, 2014 by Shari Eckstrom 24 Comments

Pecan Maple Sandies PECAN MAPLE SANDIES

I received  free product for writing this post. As always the opinions are entirely my own.

Yes, I realize Cookie Month ’14 has come and gone; unfortunately my last week’s post met a few setbacks. First there was the intensive last minute work schedule that took up so much of my time. Add to that a minor disaster in the kitchen where I’m temporarily staying that saw my baking schedule as well as everything else go completely topsy turvy.

Pecan Maple Sandies So here I am into November sharing the most excellent of freezing cookies: my Pecan Maple Cookies. If you’re looking for a melt in your mouth cookie with amazing maple and pecan flavor look no further. You’ve hit the mother lode! What makes these cookies so special is the Boyajian Maple Flavor from King Arthur.  

Pecan Maple Sandies As a rule I shy away from all purpose flour, but with these cookies nothing else will do for that melt in your mouth experience. King Arthur’s All Purpose flour is unbleached and a great choice when necessary. These cookies have always been one of my husbands favorites and I try to make plenty for now and later. They are the perfect cookies for freezing. After thawing the Maple Pecan Sandies still retain that yummy flavor and the melt in your mouth texture. The only problem you’ll have is keeping them in the freezer. They always seem to disappear to quickly!

    I’ve never heard of sandies before but these sound absolutely delicious. I know I’d like them because they contain my favourite pecans. Which means my mum will be a big fan too =)

    Shari, These cookies are delicious. Best cookies I have had in a long time.Melt in your mouth,maple flavoring is even better than using real maple syrup. I think the flavor gets better as these cookies sit. To bad they didn’t last a little longer. Guess I’ll have to make some more.Yum!

    The combination of maple with a melt in your mouth texture sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to try a nut free version (though I understand that the pecans add flavor and crunch to your version)! I have been tempted by the Boyajian maple flavoring for a long time. The descriptions say it has more concentrated flavor than other brands. Maple is such a hard flavor to get to really shine in a recipe, and the Boyajian maple flavoring seems to be the answer. Did you find it any different than other brands you may have used?

      Thanks Wendy. The Maple Flavor is definitely more concentrated than any other maple flavoring I have tried and true to a wonderful maple flavor. I am looking forward to using it in my baking this holiday season. Well worth the investment.

      The maple flavor was awesome. It only took a small amount and added so much great flavor. I can’t wait to use it again.
