Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 30 Rolo Candies
  • 30 Pecans
  • Sea Salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place flour, salt, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and beat together until combined. Mixture will look like crumbs at first, but continue beating and it will come together into a thick dough.
  • Scoop out dough by tablespoons and roll into balls. Place on a lined cookie sheet and flatten each dough ball until it's about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, until edges feel set. Meanwhile, unwrap the Rolos.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and top each one with one Rolo in the center. Return to the oven for 90 seconds, then remove and push a pecan down into each Rolo. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
  • Cool completely before serving.
