1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Chop the 1.8 oz./50g of pecans finely. Set aside.

2. Add the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix several minutes until very light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt, add it to the bowl and mix in. Add the chopped pecans and fold in.

3. Use a small cookie scoop* and scoop dough out of the bowl and place it with some space in between on the baking sheet. Press a pecan into each dough portion and bake for about 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down for some time on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. If you could not get all cookies onto one baking sheet, repeat the process to bake more cookies.
