Ingredients - Serves 24

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the finely chopped pecans.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or a fork, gently flatten each ball to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
