" BUTTER PECAN ICE BOX COOKIES "
2 - 1/4 cups all-purpose flour1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 cup butter, preferably salted, softened 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt and cream of tartar. In a large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Blend in flour mixture and pecans. Form into 2 rolls, 8 to 10 inch long. Wrap in plastic warp and refrigerate until firm enough to slice. Over night or 2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease baking sheet. Slice dough into 1/4 - inch thick rounds. Arrange on greased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly on baking sheet before removing to wire rack. Makes: 4 - 1/2 to 5 dozen cookies Notes: For the best shape cookies, keep dough refrigerated until you start slicing it. Use your sharpest knife. A dull knife will push the dough out of shape. Rotating the roll a quarter turn each time you cut it also will give you a better shape. If your hands are warm, slip a plastic bag over the one that holds the roll to insulate it. Heat from your hand can soften the dough. related searches : Butter
