Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown. Remove from heat; cool.
  • In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add flour, beating just until blended. Stir in toasted pecans and vanilla.
