Sugar Cookie with Pecan

Last time's shortbread cookie turned out really good, so I decided to try it again. The only change I did was add some pecan and cut some sugar.

Ingredients:

3/4 pound unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pure almond extract

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups small diced pecans

Method:

1. Mix flour and salt.

2. Mix butter, sugar and vanilla extract.

Just mix, don't over beat.

3. Mix flour and butter mixture, just until the dough starts to get together.

4. Add pecan to dough, mix well.

5. Shape the dough into a long strip, wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 350 degree.

7. Cut the dough into thick pieces, place on ungreased baking sheet.

8. Sprinkle with sugar, then bake about 20 minutes.
