Ingredients:
1/2 C. butter, softened
1/2 C. sugar
1/3 C. brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 C. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tarter
Topping ingredients:
2 T. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tarter. Add flour mixture gradually to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill briefly in refrigerator, approximately 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon for topping.
Roll dough into balls (about 2-1/2 T. dough per ball). Roll each dough ball in topping mixture, and press onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 300 degrees for 12-14 minutes, or until they appear just slightly under-baked (they will continue to set after removed from oven).
Ingredients:
1 C. butter, softened
2/3 C. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 C. flour
1/2 C. chopped pecans
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add salt and vanilla and mix well, beating mixture until smooth. Add in flour and nuts, and continue mixing until the dough looks like moist pebbles.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and shape into a log, 10″ long and 2″ thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
Line 3 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Unwrap the dough and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4″ thick slices. Arrange slices on baking sheets, spacing about 1″ apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown. Place baking sheets on wire racks and allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheets.
