Step 1
Start by creaming together the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until the mixture is nice and smooth. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the butter mixture, stirring just until everything comes together. Gently fold in the pecans, making sure they’re evenly spread throughout the dough.

Step 2
Shape the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in wax paper. Pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to chill and firm up. When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough into rounds and place them on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.

Step 3
Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
