This American cookie is so special, so classic, that it deserves a full day of celebration all to itself. These cookies are similar to a shortbread in texture with a mild sweetness that pairs well with tea and coffee. It's a classic and easy recipe that is also sometimes known as a Mexican Wedding cookie. Serve up a platter of these and share some pics using #NationalPecanSandiesDay.

National Pecan Sandies Day is observed on June 23rd of every year.

We are continuing to research the origins of this national holiday.
