Pecan Shortbread Bars

Pecan Shortbread Bars or Pecan Sandies, are made with four ingredients. Their rich and buttery flavor make these the perfect treat all year long.

Several years ago, I found a recipe for Cherry Shortbread Cookies in a magazine. Making my own Pecan Sandies has been on my to-make list for quite some time because they're one of my favorite cookies. 

When making holiday cookie platters, I prefer to make my cookies much smaller. This allows you to add a wider variety to your platter and allows people to sample several different kinds. 

These bars can also be frozen; however, I suggest you put them in some sort of stable container with an airtight lid so that they do not crumble in transport. ~Enjoy!
