My mother’s pecan sandies have always been one of my favorite cookies. Light and crumbly, buttery and delicious. They practically melt in your mouth. But, the other day I decided to make Chocolate Dipped Pecan Sandies with a pinch of sea salt sprinkled over the top. Oh – maaa – garsh!

That’s all there is to it.

I’m definitely loving this salted chocolate twist on the classic pecan sandies recipe.

I’m just wondering why I hadn’t thought of it before now!
