Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
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.
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.
Roll each log in the finely chopped pecans, pressing gently to adhere the pecans to the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
