- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
In a medium size mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla together. Stir in salt and flour; add pecans, kneading in gently with hands, if necessary.
Press or gently roll out on a lightly floured surface; cut into circles or squares about 1/4-inch thick. Bake at 325 degrees F. for about 20 minutes.
Time will vary with thickness, so check them after 12 to 15 minutes if they are a little thinner.
Omit the pecans and drizzle with icing or dip half of each cookie in chocolate coating and sprinkle with more chopped pecans, if desired.
