Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (European style preferred)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup very finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Using an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat on high for several minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Add vanilla extract and salt, stir well until combined.
  3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch.
  4. Gradually add flour/cornstarch mixture to butter mixture, stir until completely combined.
  5. Add pecans, fold in with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
