Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball gently with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
