Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the softened butter, sugar, vanilla and sea salt. Mix until well blended together.

Add the flour and pecans to the wet mixture and blend until combined. The dough will begin to stick together in the bowl.

Using a cookie scoop measure out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them evenly on the baking sheets.

Bake 18-20 minutes or until they are slightly firm and the bottoms are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool slightly. Then, while they are still warm roll them in powdered sugar.

Place the cookies on a cooling rack and let them cool completely before storing them in an air tight container for up to a week.
