1 c. butter
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. finely chopped pecans
2 c. flour
1 tbsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 325 degrees until pale brown, approximately 15 minutes. After cool, dust with powdered sugar.

Note: When doubling recipe, use 1 cup finely ground nuts and 1 cup coarse nuts. Can substitute almonds, if desired. This cookie doesn't spread very much, so you can put them on the cookie tray very close together and bake quite a few at a time.
