Rich and buttery, these cookies are great on their own, or fill with chocolate frosting and make sandwiches. Freeze a roll and bake as many or as few cookies as you need.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl with the wet ingredients, and mix to combine. Add the pecans, mix well.

Shape into two rolls about 2 inches in diameter and place in a freezer bag.

To Serve:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove rolls from freezer bag and slice into 1/4 slices. Place slices and inch apart on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool.
