Mix until fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Slowly add flour, mixing until a dough forms (see Image 1). Add pecans and mix until they are thoroughly combined.</DIV><BR /><DIV>Scoop dough in heaping teaspoons (see Image 2). Form into log, then turn edges down in crescent shape. Place cookies on parchment-prepared pan. Bake at 325 for 20 - 25 minutes. When the cookies are light brown on bottom and look 'set', they are done. Let cool on cooling rack.
