Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the flour until well blended, then mix in coconut raisins and pecans (if desired). Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
