Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Stir in flour and pecans. Add vanilla. Chill in refrigerator for one hour. Preheat oven to 350. Roll dough into small balls between palms of your hands and place on a greased cookie sheet. Press down on each ball with the tines of a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Unbaked cookie dough can be kept in the refrigerator for several days, or can be frozen for 6 months.
