ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans or black walnuts

directions

Cream butter and sugars, add eggs and mix well. Sift salt and soda with flour, add nuts and mix into first part.

Roll into a round roll, the size of large rolling pin. Wrap in plastic wrap. Put in refrigerator overnight.

The cookie rolls can remain in icebox for some time and be cut and baked as needed. Cookies keep nicely in jars.
