Time 9h5m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon milk, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare dough: Stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla; mix until a soft dough forms (do not overmix.) Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
  • While the dough is chilling, prepare filling. Combine sugar, brown sugar, pecans, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat. Cook until melted, but don't let it caramelize. Remove from the heat.
  • Divide the cold dough into 2 equal sections. Roll each out on a lightly floured surface to a 9x13-inch rectangle.
  • Pour 1/2 of the filling mixture onto each rectangle and spread evenly. Staring with the longer side, roll each rectangle tightly to form a log. Wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough logs from the refrigerator. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven in batches until light golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • Combine powdered sugar, butter, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla for glaze. Mix until smooth, adding milk if necessary to preferred thickness. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
