The sandie, sometimes referred to as sablé,
Pecans are often used as a main ingredient, and may be crushed and included in the batter, or else placed atop the cookie whole.
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.
The Keebler Sandie uses soya bean oil and palm oil as a butter substitute. Sandies are sometimes dusted with powdered sugar after cooking.
Commercial production
The
Keebler Company mass production and markets Sandies Classic (plain), Pecan, and Cashew shortbread cookies.
Keebler first purveyed Sandies cookies in 1955 and added a
toffee variety in 1993.
Sablés
The sandie is a type of sablé, a popular round
shortbread cookie that, according to the letters of the Marquise de Sévigné, might have originated in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in
France in 1670.
"Sablé" means "sanded" in
French language, and is so named because of its crumbly and fine texture.
