  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 30 minutes, plus cooling
  • Yield Makes 18

Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
    • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in vanilla and salt. With mixer on low, gradually add flour, beating just until combined. Fold in pecans.
  2. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, and place on two baking sheets, 2 inches apart. With the dampened bottom of a glass, lightly flatten each ball.
  3. Bake until cookies are golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

Cook's Note

For best results, line cookie sheets with parchment prior to baking.
