Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour, sifted
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened

Directions

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Note: Ive actually revised the original recipe a bit, adjusting the temperature from the suggested 425°F for 15 minutes to 350°F for 17-19 minutes; I found that this yielded a softer, more delicate cookie. 3. Beat sugar and butter until it becomes fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until incorporated. Combine nuts and flour; mix well then add it to the butter mix little by little, until incorporated (dont overmix!). 4. Shape dough by hand into little oval-shaped nuggets about the size of your thumb. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool on sheet for about 2 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool for about 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners sugar. If not served immediately, then dust the cookies in more confectioners sugar and tap off excess directly before serving.
