Ingredients:


1 cup (2 sticks) butter


1 teaspoon vanilla


3⁄4 cup brown sugar


2-1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour


1⁄2 cup chopped pecans


Directions:



  1. Place butter, vanilla, and brown sugar in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater to mixer. Turn to Speed 6 and beat 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl.

  2. Turn to Speed 2 and add flour then beat 30 seconds. Stop and scrape bowl. Turn to Stir Speed and quickly add pecans, mixing just until blended.

  3. Shape dough into a log 1-1⁄2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and chill 20 minutes. Slice dough into 1⁄2-inch thick cookies.

  4. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 325°F for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.


Makes 2 Dozen Cookies


Tip: Soft cookies should be stored between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. A piece of apple or bread, changed frequently, will help keep cookies soft. Store crisp cookies in an airtight container with a loose-fitting lid. If they soften, place them in an oven at 300°F for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.


 


Happy Holidays and Happy Baking!
