Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 lbs Unsalted Butter (3 sticks at room temperature)
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Almond extract
  • 3 1/2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Pecans (diced into tiny pieces)

Instruction

  • In a bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
  • In an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar. Beat until just combined.
  • Add the vanilla and the almond extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture.
  • Add the pecans and mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together.
  • Dump the mixture onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in a plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 mins.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Roll the chilled dough ½ inch thick and cut them into desired shape. I used the plastic wrap on top of my dough when rolling. This made rolling easy and gave a smooth surface for the cookie.
  • Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 - 22 mins, until the edges become brown.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature and then serve or store as desired.
