1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using a food processor, blender, nut mill or knife, finely chop the pecans. Add the powdered sugar to the processor or blender (if that's what you used) and grind or chop. If done by hand, just mix together.
3. Mix the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Drop in the chunks of butter and the vegetable shortening in teaspoon amounts. Begin to mix with your hands, until the butter and vegetable shortening are mixed in with the flour and salt. The mixture will turn into a coarse dough, with chunks of butter and shortening mixed throughout.
4. Add in the sugar and pecan mixture and work it all in. Crack the egg into the mixture thoroughly combine, using your hands. In less than a minute, the dough should be soft and malleable enough to be turned into a ball. Don't knead more than necessary, you just want it to come together into a homogeneous mass.

1. Using a stand mixer, hand mixer or a fork in a large bowl, cream together the butter (ghee OR coconut oil) with powdered sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, almond flour and salt and mix until the dough forms a ball. Stir in chopped pecans and mix again until combined. Use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a large dough ball. Add milk only if dough seems dry and does not come together - and alternatively add more almond flour if the dough seems too wet - only a little bit at a time.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into ONE (1) tablespoon sized dough balls. Place on prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Repeat until all the dough is used up. Place baking sheet in freezer for 15 minutes (to avoid spreading). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 F.
3. Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until bottoms are golden - rotating pans halfway through. Be careful not to over-bake.
4. Remove from oven and cool on baking pan for about 3-4 minutes until you can handle them comfortably with your hands.
