Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- Place the pecans on a baking sheet and toast for around five minutes, until fragrant. Cool on the baking sheet. (The nuts can be toasted and stored at room temperature.)
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and lightened a bit, two to three minutes. Scrape the bowl with a spatula. Add the flour and mix on low just until fully combined. Add the pecans and mix until evenly combined.
- Turn the dough onto a clean countertop lightly dusted with flour. Dust the dough with a little flour. Shape and roll into a squared log between 1½ to 2 inches wide and 1½ to 2 inches high, dusting with more flour as necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill for at least one hour or overnight, until the dough has gotten very firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Lightly beat the egg yolk and ½ teaspoon of water in a small bowl and set aside. Pour the demerara sugar into a rimmed baking sheet or shallow casserole pan. Slice the chilled log in half to make it more manageable. Working with one log at a time, brush all sides of the log with the egg yolk mixture, then roll in the demerara sugar, pressing as necessary, until fully coated. If there are any areas of the log that are bare, sprinkle with the demerara sugar to cover.
- Use a serrated knife to slice each log into about 12 individual cookies, each about ½-inch thick. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each. Bake, rotating from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until lightly golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. The cookies will keep in a covered container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature. If you'd like to freeze the dough before baking, shape it into a squared log, then wrap it securely in plastic wrap and then a layer of foil; freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove the log from the freezer, thaw it until pliable, and then proceed with recipe.

OLD-FASHIONED ROASTED PECANS
My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

When my daughter was a teen, these butter pecan cookies earned her two blue ribbons from two county fairs. Then a few years ago, her own daughter took home a blue ribbon for the same cookie. Needless to say, these mouthwatering morsels are real winners!-Martha Thefield, Cedartown, Georgia

ROASTY TOASTY PECAN-CARAMEL SHORTBREAD COOKIES RECIPE

- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven (or in middle of oven if you have only 1 baking sheet); preheat to 325°. Toast ⅓ cup (47 g) pecans on a rimmed baking sheet (on the upper or middle rack), tossing halfway through, until fragrant and golden all the way through (check by breaking one in half), 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; let cool. Reserve baking sheet. Keep the oven at 325° for baking the cookies.
- Pulse pecans until very finely ground (be careful not to go too far or you’ll have nut butter). Add 1½ cups plus 2 Tbsp. (188 g) all-purpose flour, 3 Tbsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. kosher salt; pulse once or twice just to combine, scraping down sides as needed.
- (PAUSE: Is your butter cold? It should be straight-from-the-fridge cold.) Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter into ½" pieces, add to food processor, and pulse in 3-second-long bursts, scraping down sides as needed, until dough begins to come together in large clumps. Add ¼ cup store-bought dulce de leche and pulse until dough comes together into a single mass and no streaks remain.
- Transfer dough to a sheet of parchment paper (plastic wrap also works here) and use your fingers to pat it down into a rectangle. Don't worry if it's a bit sticky—it's going to firm up when you chill it—but if you're having trouble, lightly flour your fingers. If the dough is still too sticky to work with, transfer it to the fridge for 10 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. Fold parchment up and over dough and use it to press and roll the dough into a 9" log (about 2" in diameter). A bench scraper will help you shape the dough into a straight, even log, but if you don't have one your hands will work just fine. Roll up tightly and chill 90 minutes, or freeze 20 minutes.
