Ingredients:  
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ pound (1 stick) butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 ¼ cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 ¼ ounces (2/3 cup) pecans, cut medium fine
36 pecan halves
Directions:
Directions:
• Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and set aside. Place butter pieces in a heavy 2-3 quart saucepan and melt slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar with a heavy wooden spatula. Stir in the vanilla and the egg. Add sifted dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Mix in the cut pecans.
• Place rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart on foil-lined cookie sheets. Place a pecan half on each, pressing it gently into the dough. Bake in a preheated 350˚ oven 12-14 minutes, reversing sheets top to bottom and front to back to ensure even browning. The cookies will rise during baking and then will settle down. They should be medium brown – do not under bake. Slide foil off the sheets and use a wide metal spatula to transfer cookies from the foil to racks to cool.
• Makes 36 3-inch cookies.
