Recipe - Pecan Icebox Cookies

One fourth pound Unsalted butter; softened
1 cup Dark brown sugar (packed)
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 One half cup Allpurpose flour
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
One half cup Chopped pecans

In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and
fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and sift into the butter mixture.
Blend thoroughly. Stir in the pecans.

Shape the dough into a roll 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic
wrap and refrigerate overnight or for up to 1 week.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a sharp thin knife, cut the dough
into 1/4inch slices and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in the
center of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and set.
Transfer to wire racks to cool.
