Brown Sugar Pecan Refrigerator Cookies

Beat the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely incorporated.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl, then stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated.

Fold in the pecans mixing just enough to evenly combine.

Roll the dough into a log, and wrap in wax paper.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Slice the dough and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 12 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
