Directions
- Finely chop the pecans. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and powdered sugar together on low speed to blend. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until soft and light. Add the chopped pecans and beat until distributed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the salt, vanilla, and flour and beat on low speed to blend. Scrape down the inside of the bowl and beat again on low speed until dough is thoroughly combined.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 30 portions, using about 1 tablespoon for each, and shape each into a ball. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator to chill while the oven preheats.

Hi, Gracie 3 years ago
Really good. I made this with my friend Sam, and they were super easy, and a great sugary snack!!

These are one of my favorite cookies! I did add one more step... I roasted my peacans for 8 min in the oven before I started. It makes a big difference in the taste of pecans for any recipe.

They turned out great! I tweaked the timing a bit because I like super soft cookies/almost dough-like, so I cooked for 18 min. instead of 30.

delicious, so addictive! definitely need to chill for a bit longer than the recipe suggests, a few cookies had butter leaking out everywhere.
