Time 1h30m

Yield About 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown-rice flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place pecans in heavy skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan to cool.
  • Cream butter and sugar by hand or in a mixer. Mix salt with rice flour and fold in by hand or on low speed. Fold in the all-purpose flour, pecans and vanilla.
  • Divide dough in half. Place each portion on large piece of plastic wrap.Fold long side of wrap over dough and gently roll back and forth to form a log about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with second half. Wrap well in plastic and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove plastic wrap from dough. With sharp knife, cut dough logs in slices about 1/4 inch thick and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until firm and just beginning to color, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on racks.

The cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add an extra egg yolk next time.

I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe and they were still plenty sweet. A healthier and tasty treat!

I made these cookies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They were just as delicious!
