Now take out the dough from the refrigerator and cut the rolled dough into the 1/2 inch thick slices to make the equal-size Sandies, Pecan Sandies works best when chilled, place them 2 inches apart on the ungreased baking tray,
Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until turn golden in color, allow them cool on the wire rack and sprinkle the powdered sugar while still warm. Store them in an airtight container, cookies will last for 3-5 days.
Note:
Chilling the dough is important for at least 30 minutes, I would recommend chilling the dough for about
4 hours, do all the preparation a day ahead.
