2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until well combined.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients: To the creamed mixture, add the egg, salt, vanilla extract, flour, and chopped pecans. Blend everything together until a smooth dough forms.

4. Drop Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the greased cookie sheet, leaving about 2-3 inches of space between each cookie.

5. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

6. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few seconds.

7. Roll-up: Using a spatula, carefully remove one cookie at a time from the sheet. Quickly flip it over onto a clean surface and roll it up while it’s still warm.

8. Handle with Care: It’s important to handle the cookies quickly while they’re still hot and pliable. Keep a cup of cold water nearby to cool your fingers if necessary. If the cookies cool too much, they may harden and become difficult to roll.

9. Serve: Once rolled up, place the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Butter Pecan Roll-up Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa.
