1 cup softened butter (not unsalted)
½ cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 ¼ cups flour
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup finely chopped toasted pecans
2 cups confectioners sugar to roll the cookies in
1
Mix butter, powdered sugar and vanilla thoroughly. Blend flour and salt and stir it into mixture. Mix in nuts, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill about an hour.
2
Heat oven to 400 degrees. (If I leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight, it gets really hard, so I zap it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, and it’s easier to work with.) Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls, and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes and while warm, roll them in confectioners sugar. Let cookies cool and roll them in confectioners sugar again. Makes about 4 dozen.
