Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a stand blender with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric blender on medium speed, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, approximately 2-5 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until incorporated. Reduce the speed to stir and add the chopped pecans reserving about 1/2 cup.
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop for equal measurements, roll the dough into balls and then roll them through the reserved chopped pecans.
