Has anyone baked "lady fingers" also known as nutty cookies, wedding cookies and pecan cookies? Asking for a few reasons. I've been volunteered to make them for Christmas. Don't you love it when people do that? My mom is in nursing home and she's put a guilt trip on my dad. Unfortunately I can't ask my mom these questions because I won't be able to see her until we meet as a family on Sunday. I've helped with these all my life but don't remember everything.

Seems like my mom made these several days or a week ahead of time. That's one question, making ahead time frame?

Another question, would these turn out baking in a sheet or 13x9 pan? It's a lot of work for one person. They require shaping each cookie and when done rolled in powder sugar.

I certainly don't mind doing this my mom. We have never had a good relationship but I appreciate everything she did for us growing up.

Experienced bakers may be able to answer even if you haven't cooked this. I can usually search these questions but this recipe is very old and not very popular so I'm not getting results.
