Ingredients:  
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. pecans, coarsely chopped
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla and salt. Either by hand or with mixer on low, gradually add flour, beating until just combined. Fold in pecans by hand.
2. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, two inches apart, 8 to a sheet. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.
3. I really like to use a small cookie/ice cream scoop when I make cookies - it helps to make them cook more evenly.
4. Bake until cookies are golden brown, 15 -17 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Store in airtight container for 5 days.......if they last that long. enjoy!
