Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
• Slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until the dough forms.
• Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the dough.
• Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
