4 oz. unsalted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

In a medium size mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla together. Stir in salt and flour; add pecans, kneading in gently with hands, if necessary.

Press or gently roll out on a lightly floured surface; cut into circles or squares about 1/4-inch thick. Bake at 325*. for about 20 minutes. Time will vary with thickness, so check them after 12 to 15 minutes if they're a little thinner.
