- In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Reroll any dough scraps. Continue cutting out the cookies until all the dough is used. Lightly sprinkle half the cookies with the finely chopped pecans, patting them down to embed them slightly - these rounds will be the sandwich tops.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time in the upper third of the oven for 6-8 minutes or until just tinged with brown and slightly darker around the edges. Reverse sheets halfway through from front to back to ensure even browning.Transfer sheet to wire rack and let set 2-3 minutes so cookies firm up slightly.Using a spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
