The website calls these, “Delicate buttery cookies, which get their crunchy texture from toasted pecans and sugar coating.” They practically melt in your mouth. Best of all, they’ll take you under an hour to bake. Here’s what you’ll need: 3/4 cup pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for coating 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. On a baking sheet, toast pecans for about six minutes, or until they become fragrant. Cream your butter, sugar vanilla, salt and flour with an electric mixer. Then, fold in your pecans. Once you have your dough, separate into 12 pieces, shaping each one into a ball. After you roll in your sugar, please each ball on a baking sheet (about 3 inches apart) and gently flatten with the bottom of a glass. Finally, sprinkle on some more sugar and bake in the oven about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!
