PECAN SABLES

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 cup finely chopped toasted pecans

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg yolk

Mix flour, pecans, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Add flour mixture and stir until blended. Shape dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm enough to roll, about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Transfer cookies to prepared sheets, leaving about an inch between each other. Gather dough scraps and repeat until all dough is used.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.
