Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and a smooth dough forms.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. They will be soft and fragile when hot, but will firm up as they cool.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough until all the cookies are baked.
- Once cooled, store the pecan lace cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
