I was about to post my version of this recipe and found it was already here. My recipe calls for 1 cup crushed potato chips (I crush them before measuring by putting them in a ziplock baggie and using a rolling pin on them). I also don't roll or flatten mine, simply dropping them in teaspoonfuls in a greased baking sheet. It's lots of fun trying to get everyone to guess the secret ingredient...they never do!

This is exactly like my mother-in-law’s recipe. She always made them at Christmas time and I was looking for this recipe. eventually I came across hers and compared. Exactly the same! Easy to make and always popular.

FABULOUS! These are so easy and taste like Elves have been in the kitchen. A great copy of pecan sandies. Prepared for PAC Fall 2008

These cookies were a combination of buttery and crunchy. Very good.
