"To make the cookies:\n\n\nMix the flour and salt together in a bowl and set aside. \n\n\nGrab another bowl and mix the sugar and egg together. Then add in the butter and vanilla and mix. \n\nTake the flour and add slowly into the mixed wet ingredients. It should start to resemble cookie dough. \n\nOnce that happens, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 2 hours, at least. \n\nAfter the dough is done being chilled, take it out of the fridge. \n\nUse a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. \n\nStart to roll the cookies into 1-inch spheres and put them on the cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. \n\nTake the back of a teaspoon and make a dent in each cookie. \n\nPut in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.\n\nTake out and use the teaspoon back again to press a deeper thumbprint in the cookie. Be careful, they're going to be hot. \n\nPut the cookies back into the oven and continue to bake for another 4-5 minutes. \n\nOnce done, remove and let cool. \n\n\n\nFor the topping:\n\nUsing a small saucepan, add in the sugar, salt, heavy cream, and the water and mix them all well. \n\nBoil it on high and then lower it to medium heat. Stir until thick which would be about 2 minutes or so. \n\nTake off from heat source and mix in vanilla. \n\nScoop out some of the mixture and put it into the middle of each cookie. Place a pecan on top. \n\nLet it sit for 3-4 minutes to cool.\n\nEnjoy!"
