What is National Pecan Sandies Day?

National Pecan Sandies Day, June 23rd, is a day to commemorate if you like cookies. Every year, the American food festival is celebrated, giving bakers and cookie enthusiasts alike the opportunity to enjoy a classic cookie.

Cookie-like wafers have existed for as long as baking has been documented. These robust cookies travel very well, which may be part of the explanation. Cookies have evolved and improved over the years with the new standards of sweetness and variety, but not all cookies have changed and evolved over the years. These cookies' mild sweetness pairs well with tea and coffee. These melt-in-your-mouth cookies will remind you of the shortbread cookies your grandma used to make.

Another shortbread version of a pecan sandie is called a Mexican or Italian Wedding cookie. These powdered sugar-coated balls also melt in your mouth and look like delectable snowballs, another term for the sweet morsel. They're quick to make and store, too! Both versions of the cookie are approved by Celebrate Every Day!
