pound cake cookies
  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 60 pecan halves (optional)


  1. Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat egg yolks into butter mixture and gradually beat flour into butter mixture until dough forms. Beat in vanilla. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours.
