Butterscotch Pecan Shortbread

4 ounces unsalted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium size mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla together.
Stir in salt and flour; add pecans, kneading in gently with hands, if necessary.
Press or gently roll out on a lightly floured surface; cut into circles or squares about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake for about 20 minutes. Time will vary with thickness, so check them after 12 to 15 minutes if they're a little thinner.

Makes approximately 15 to 18
