Toast 1.5 cups of pecans in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Place toasted pecans in a food processor and grind until fine.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1.75 cups of white flour, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 0.25 to 0.5 teaspoon of salt; stir and set aside.

In a stand mixer, cream together 2 sticks of unsalted butter and 0.5 cup of powdered sugar on low speed until combined, then increase speed to make it light and fluffy.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the butter mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until combined after each addition.

Fold in the ground pecans into the dough until well incorporated.

Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or your hands, roll into balls, and then roll in powdered sugar.

Place the rolled cookies on a baking sheet.

Bake in the oven until light and golden, then let cool slightly before serving.
