- Add to the butter mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the remaining flour and mix.
- Fold in the pecans.
- Roll the mixture into logs and wrap in waxed paper.
- Since the dough will be a little crumbly, it is easier to make a number of short logs as opposed to a few long ones.
- Wrap in foil or plastic and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove one log a time from the refrigerator, then slice and place on cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on how thick you cut the dough.
- Repeat with the remaining logs.
