Hey there Internets!

Shakespeare said something like “a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet”.

This is also true for the lowly Pecan Sandy.

This past month , Oh Nuts contacted me and asked if I’d review some of their products.

Who wouldn’t jump at that chance.

So I perused their web site and chose Spiced Pecans and something else I will talk about tomorrow.

I had considered making a pecan pie with them, but then I went to the parents house and mom had had some Mexican Wedding Cookies Russinan Tea Cakes Pecan Sandies.   And I couldn’t get it out of my head that they would be absolutely fabulous with spiced pecans in them.
yummy

And Internet I was right.

I didn’t think these cookies could get any better, but I was wrong.

Why don’t you go check out Oh Nuts…they have more than nuts there.

 

But you know what made them even sweeter?

    • They are so good. I couldn’t believe what that little bit of crunch did for the entire cookie.
