Pecan Sandies Update

I originally posted on October 18th that I was trying to duplicate the Keebler Pecan Sandies cookie using dehydrated long term stored foods. To date I have tried 7 recipe adjustments and just can’t get close to duplicating their cookie texture. I have the taste right but not the firm, dry, crumbly cookie like the Keeblers’.
I am not a cookie person and can easily live without them, I rarely buy any. So it’s time to give up and move on with other important survival meal recipes. If someone has a recipe for them using dehydrated foods if you want to share your recipe I’d love to hear from you.

butter in a cookie recipe will give you a moist cookie.. if you are looking for something crisp and crumbly you might try margarine..this is because margarine has more "liquid" in it and bakes off.

Anon, thanks for the tip. I haven't tried margarine but have used butter powder with water and once with oil. If I do try again I'll give margarine a try. I've been very close but just can't seem to duplicate Keebler texture.
