Time 30m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar, plus more for coating
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a baking sheet, toast pecans until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool completely; finely chop.
  • With an electric mixer, cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until light, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla, salt, and flour, scraping down sides of bowl, just until dough comes together. Fold in pecans.
  • Separate dough into 12 pieces; squeeze dough to shape into balls. Roll in sugar. Place, 3 inches apart, on a baking sheet. Gently flatten with the bottom of a glass (reshape sides if necessary). Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more sugar. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.

I had some trouble finding chopped pecans, so I used walnuts instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good and I would definitely make them again.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The butter flavor is really strong and the cookies are very soft and chewy.
