Cook's Note: This recipe can easily be doubled, as what was shown in the episode.





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.





In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugar until they are just combined. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter/sugar mixture. Add the pecans and mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.





Roll the dough 1/2-inch thick and cut into 2 1/2-inch squares with a plain or fluted cutter (or cut into any shape you like). Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.

OMG this is the best recipe!!! I get requests for it at every family gathering and friend get together. I don't have time to type it, but it is on the back of the Crisco Butter Flavor can! I don't use nuts in it; instead I double the chocolate chips, half semi-sweet and half milk chocolate. Yummy!
I don't have the recipe myself. It was from one of my sisters cookbooks and Inever copied it down. Best cookies ever though (considering I NEVER rate sweets 5/5, that cookie recipe somehow got me to give it a rating of 5/5.) Sorry I don't have the recipe though.
