Kathy is one of our new food contributors, and we’re so excited about these chocolate dipped pecan sandies!

Hi! I’m Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop. I am a new contributor here on OSSS. I am a busy working mom with three teenage kids; ages 14, 13, 13. Yep! We have one daughter and twin boys. My husband, kids and I live in the country and we raise chickens, pigs, and rabbits. We grow a large garden and have several fruit trees. We try to live off the land and make most of our meals from scratch. It’s often a challenge in our busy lives. I’m excited to share some of my recipes, kitchen tricks, gardening tips, and happenings around our little farm.

Baking is one of my favorite hobbies. I made these Chocolate Dipped Pecan Sandies and they have been a huge hit in our house! My sister and brother-in-law also gave these a two thumbs up!

These cookies are super easy to make. They aren’t like a regular cookie though. They don’t have any eggs or leavening. None! I believe this is the first cookie I’ve ever made without eggs or baking soda or baking powder. I was a little worried these would be really dense. But they aren’t at all. Just pure deliciousness!
