Pecan Butter Cookies

Combine the butter, brown sugar, and egg in a large mixing container until they are thoroughly incorporated. \nGradually incorporate the flour and salt into the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the ingredients to meld together. \nHeat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), as indicated on the oven's temperature dial. \nScoop out small portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on baking trays. Flatten each portion into a disk shape using the rim of a glass that has been lightly dusted with flour. \nPress a single pecan onto the surface of each dough disk before placing them in the preheated oven. \nBake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden in color.
