Ingredients

24 servings

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped and toasted
Chef's tip
Use the same amount, keeping the same form - whole, chopped, or toasted.
2 tbsp powdered sugar, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Spread the chopped pecans on a dry baking sheet and toast for 6–8 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until fragrant and lightly deepened in color. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely.
2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
