1 C plus 2 T salted butter
1/2 C light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 C all-purpose flour
1 C finely chopped pecans, optional
Directions:
Directions:
Beat the butter, sugars and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and creamy, scraping down bowl as needed. Add flour and mix just until combined. Add pecans. Mixture will look crumbly, but you can shape into logs. Divide dough into 2 logs about 2 inches in diameter. Chill until totally firm, about 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 1 or 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4 -1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange cookie slices on prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Brush with an egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Bake 15-18 minutes until the edges are just beginning to turn brown. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
