Pecan Sandie Cookies

Sunday, July 21, 2024
These easy Pecan Sandie Cookies are sweet, nutty, and buttery shortbread cookies packed with finely chopped pecans that melt in your mouth.

Served any time of the day with a cold or hot beverage, they may soon be your favorite cookie of all time to add to your collection of recipes.

In our home, you would normally find these on our Christmas Cookie tray every year, but since the cookies are outrageously delicious, we make them all year long.

This easy recipe has two kinds of fat that give it the perfect texture and flavor to make it similar to the popular name-brand pecan sandie cookies that are found in most supermarkets.

These pecan sandie cookies are so packed full of pecans and buttery flavor they never last long, so make a double batch or you just may not get a chance to eat one.

This pecan cookie is a staple for our cookie jar all year long, and we always include this with our  Best Holiday Cookie Recipe Roundup.

We have experimented with mix-in these pecan cookies are perfect just the way they are but you can try some additions to the batter with our suggestions below.

Vintage Lemon Lime Soda Cake

Friday, July 19, 2024
One of the first cakes I ever learned to make with Mom was this easy lemon lime soda cake mix cake.

This is a vintage recipe that has been around since my earliest memory in the 1970s and I was around 11 years old when we made this cake together.

If you're looking for the first simple and easy recipe to teach a young child how to bake, this doctored lemon lime cake mix recipe will make a wonderful memory.

Mom's favorite cake flavor was lemon and this soon became mine with the moistest texture and crumb I ever have had in an easy doctored cake mix cake.

No Churn Peach Ice Cream

Thursday, July 18, 2024
July is the perfect month to make No Churn Peach Ice Cream, creamy chunky peach, and no fuss making this frozen ice cream with just a few ingredients.

The creamy texture tastes better than any gourmet store-brand ice cream and I was truly shocked at how easy it was to make.

I even added a few teaspoons of almond extract to bring out the flavors of the peaches and it's divine.

No Churn ice cream has to be one of the best recipe inventions on the planet and anything can be added to the base recipe so absolutely experiment with different flavors if you're not a peach fan.

I just love simple easy recipes like this one it takes from mixing to freezer around 5 hours total time.
