Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecans out on a baking sheet.

  2. Bake pecans in the preheated oven until fragrant and lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely and chop in a food processor.

  3. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, beat in egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly mix pecans into butter mixture. Stir flour into pecan mixture until dough begins to come together.

  4. Roll the dough into a ball and divide it in half. Roll each dough half into a 1 1/2-inch thick log. Wrap each log in wax paper and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.

  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Unwrap dough logs and cut into 1/3-inch thick slices. Transfer slices to the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes.
