Ingredients

1 cup salted butter, room temperature ((2 sticks) )
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. With a mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the vanilla. Gradually add the flour and mix until combined. Add the pecans and mix briefly to combine.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a ungreased 13X9-inch baking dish. If the mixture it too sticky, cover with wax paper and use the wax paper to press flat.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and use a pizza cutter to cut into squares. Allow too cool in the pan before removing. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Be sure to measure your flour by spooning it into a dry measure measuring cup and leveling off. Do not scoop into the flour container with the measuring scoop. Measuring the flour incorrectly will greatly affect this recipe.
