Sometimes you just need a cookie. This is one of those recipes that came from playing around with what I had in my pantry. The ingredients for this cookie are ones I always keep on hand, so it was easy to whip up a quick batch of cookie dough.

This recipe is adapted from my paleo hazelnut cookies recipe. To create this pecan sandies version I swapped out the hazelnut flour for chopped pecans, and used coconut oil and maple syrup to keep it dairy-free and vegan.

The coconut on top is not traditional for pecan sandies, but I love how it gets toasted when the cookies bake and adds an extra layer of texture. These turned out to be a new favorite cookie! So easy and perfect with a dairy-free pumpkin spice latte.

This pecan sandies recipe is super simple. Just a few ingredients for an easy gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan cookie. Make this quick and easy healthy treat!

I love how quick and easy this pecan sandies recipe is. I’ve made them by hand in a bowl, as in the instructions below. And I’ve also thrown everything into the food processor and pulsed just until a dough is formed. They work beautifully both ways, although you will have larger pecan pieces if you mix them by hand.

However you make them, this pecan sandies recipe is sure to become one of your go-to favorites too! This post includes some affiliate links to products I recommend, you can read my full disclosure here.

    These are amazing. I can’t tell the difference between these and regular cookies. The texture isn’t strange like a lot of Paleo baked goods, and the taste is spot on. I might bring these to Christmas this year and not tell my family!
