1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar and egg. Stir in flour, vanilla and pecans. Mix well by hand. Shape into balls about the size of walnuts, place on cookie sheets and flatten to about 1/8 inch.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely and harden.
