1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted |
1 1/4 cups pecans, pieces |

4. Whisk together yolks and maple syrup.
5. Beat into butter, scraping down as necessary.
6. Add flour and mix until just combined.
7. Stir in pecans.
8. Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll into 4 logs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
9. Dough should be frozen for 30 minutes so that it can be easily cut or you can freeze, wrapped well for later use.
10. Slice into 3/8-inch rounds.
11. Bake on a parchment lined sheetpan until firm and lightly and evenly browned, about 12-15 minutes.
12. The cookies must be cooked through to be tender.
