List of Ingredients




2 cups butter, softened
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cups finely chopped pecans
1-1/3 cups sugar

Recipe



In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Divide into three portions. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 16-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Combine pecans and sugar; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up each rectangle tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 2 hours.

Unwrap and cut into 3/8-in. slices. Place 2-in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 7 dozen.
