Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Pecan Sandies
Vegan & Gluten Free Pecan Sandies
1 1/2 Cups Dairy Free Butter
4 1/2 Cups Mama’s Almond All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
2/3 Cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
2 Cups Pecans, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Preheat oven to 325°. In an electric mixer add the dairy free butter and sugar. Beat until thoroughly combined and fluffy, scraping down once. Add about half of the flour and the vanilla, beat until thoroughly combined. Add the remaining flour, xanthan gum, and pecans. Mix thoroughly. Take spoonfuls of dough and roll in a ball, place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes. Measure the powdered sugar into a medium bowl and roll the cookies while warm until coated. Cool on wire rack. Before storing, sift with another layer of powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.

I love your memories. How special those Christmases must have been. I would love to sit in front of a window and watch the snow! And these are gorgeous – I hope I get the time to make some for my Christmas Eve dinner – excellent to bring out at the end of the meal xx

Can you make this will regular butter? Also is the texture the same as an original pecan sandies? This is one of my most favorite Christmas cookie to make and I have several friends that love them as well. I found out a few years ago I am gluten sensitive and this is one thing that I would love to master and have it taste and the texture be exact or almost exact. Thank you.

Yes, I would think real butter (not margarine) would work just fine. They are delicious! You and your friends will love them. 🙂
