- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add the salt, vanilla extract, flour, and finely chopped pecans. Mix until combined.
