Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Toast pecans in oven, then cool. Leave oven on.
- Pick out about 36 of the best-looking pecan halves for topping cookies and finely chop remainder.
- Blend together butter, sugars, vanilla, and salt in a bowl with a fork until combined well. Stir in flour and chopped pecans until a soft dough forms (dough will be sticky).
- Form 1-inch balls of dough and arrange 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Flatten balls to 1/3 inch thick using bottom of a glass (flour it if necessary), then push a pecan half onto center of each cookie.
- Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Cool cookies on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.

[email protected]I was really disappointed with these cookies. They were bland and lacked flavor. I won't be making them again.

[email protected]These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I ended up cutting the sugar in half, and they were still too sweet.

[email protected]I found the recipe a bit confusing. The instructions for making the pecan filling were not very clear.

[email protected]These cookies are definitely worth the effort, but be prepared to spend some time in the kitchen. The dough needs to be chilled for at least 30 minutes before baking.

[email protected]I followed the recipe to the letter, but my cookies came out a bit too dry. I may need to adjust the baking time next time.
