Ingredienti

1 cup unsalted butter (softened (European style preferred)

½ teaspoon salt

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Istruzioni

Using an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat on high for several minutes, until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla extract and salt, stir well until combined.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch.

Gradually add flour/cornstarch mixture to butter mixture, stir until completely combined.

Add pecans, fold in with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Once dough is almost done chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Scoop chilled cookie dough into scant 1 Tablespoon-sized scoop. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place cookies on baking sheet, spacing at least 2” (5cm) apart, and transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Allow cookies to cool completely before rolling through powdered sugar until liberally coated with sugar. Enjoy!
