Pecan icebox cookies

48 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ pounds Unsalted butter; softened
1 cup Dark brown sugar (packed)
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2½ cup All-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Chopped pecans

Directions

In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and sift into the butter mixture. Blend thoroughly. Stir in the pecans.

Shape the dough into a roll 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for up to 1 week.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a sharp thin knife, cut the dough into ¼-inch slices and place on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and set. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
