Instructions

1
Spread the pecan halves on a dry baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 7–9 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until fragrant and a shade darker. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 5 minutes, then roughly chop into pieces about the size of a pea.
2
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
