This is one of the most deliciously, melt in your mouth cookies recipes we have ever tried!
Makes 12 cookies
¾cup pecans
½cup (one stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
⅓cup sugar, plus more for coating
1tsp vanilla extract
1cup all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a baking sheet, toast pecans until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool completely; finely chop.
With an electric mixer, cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until light, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla, salt, and flour, scraping down sides of bowl, just until dough comes together. Fold in pecans.
Separate dough into 12 pieces; squeeze dough to shape into balls. Roll in sugar. Place, 3 inches apart, on a baking sheet. Gently flatten with the bottom of a glass (reshape sides if necessary). Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake until golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more sugar. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
