Cream butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in pecans.
It turns out I needed several ingredients to make these low carb pecan sandies go from good to GREAT. Almond flour, oat fiber, low carb sugar, xanthan gum, gelatin (optional), salt, baking soda, pecans, butter, vanilla and one egg white.
However, these sugar free pecan sandies are my hands-down favorite cookie to date. All you need for great keto pecan sandies is cold butter and a food processor! Cutting the cold butter into the dry ingredients and holding the mixture together with an egg white results in that shortbread cookie texture we expect with pecan sandies.
Preheat oven to 350 and place rack to middle position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour pecans into food processor and chop into small pieces. Add the next 6 ingredients and pulse to mix. Cut butter into small pieces and add to food processor, processing until incorporated.
