Ginger sandies

The sandie, sometimes referred to as sablé,[1] is a type of sugar cookie or shortbread cookie. The pecan sandie is a common variety of the cookie utilizing pecans. The Keebler Company has registered the brand name Sandies, which it uses for a line of shortbread cookies.

Pecans are often used as a main ingredient, and may be crushed and included in the batter, or else placed atop the cookie whole.[2][3] This pecan cookie is sometimes referred to as a pecan sandie.[3]

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]

Sablés

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]
