Ingredients
- 226 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 150 g pecans, finely chopped
- 50 g powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. The dough will be soft and slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
Step 6
Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 2-inch log. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, placing the logs 1.5 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Roll each log in the finely chopped pecans, pressing gently to adhere the pecans to the dough.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
