Overview
The sandie is a type of sugar cookie or shortbread cookie prepared using standard sugar cookie ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla.[2] The Keebler Sandie uses soya bean oil and palm oil as a butter substitute. Sandies are sometimes dusted with powdered sugar after cooking.[3][4]
Commercial production
The Keebler Company mass-produces and markets Sandies Classic (plain), Pecan, and Cashew shortbread cookies.[5] Keebler first purveyed Sandies cookies in 1955 and added a toffee variety in 1993.[5]

The sablé is a popular type of sandie cookie in France;[6][7] it is said to have originated in Caen, in Normandy, France.[6] "Sablé" means "sanded" in French, and is so named because of its crumbly and fine texture.[6]
