Directions
- Finely chop pecans. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and powdered sugar together on low speed to blend. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until soft and light. Add chopped pecans and beat until distributed, scraping inside of bowl as needed. Add salt, vanilla, and flour and beat on low speed to blend. Scrape inside of bowl and beat again on low speed until dough is thoroughly combined. (Pro Tip: Feel free to substitute almonds or walnuts for pecans if you like.)
- Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Scoop 30 portions of dough, about 1 tablespoon each, and shape each into a ball. Set on prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Chill pans in the refrigerator while oven preheats. (Pro Tip: Chilling the shaped cookies before baking helps them keep their shape in the oven.)

They turned out great! I tweaked the timing a bit because I like super soft cookies/almost dough-like, so I cooked for 18 min. instead of 30.

I live in Minnesota and this cookie is our state cookie. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've made this recipe in 54 years of marriage. It one of our favorites and always a winner!
Made me smile when I saw the recipe!!

delicious, so addictive! definitely need to chill for a bit longer than the recipe suggests, a few cookies had butter leaking out everywhere.
