  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  9. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  10. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
