Old-School Pecan Dandy Do’s with sweetened

Step 3: Assemble the Dandy Do’s

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
3. Cut the dough into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
4. Place the dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Spoon a generous amount of pecan filling onto each piece, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Gently fold or crimp the edges to encase the filling slightly.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
2. Remove from oven and allow the Dandy Do’s to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 5: Optional Sweet Glaze

1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Dandy Do’s for a glossy, sweet finish.
