MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES 
1 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. flour

In medium bowl cream butter, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla and salt until fluffy. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle. Shape in 1 inch balls. Place one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden. Remove to rack (close together) and while still warm, dust heavily with confectioners' sugar; cool. Store airtight in cool, dry place. Before serving, dust cookies with additional confectioners' sugar. Makes about 48 cookies.

NOTE: Sometimes I dust with a combination of cinnamon and sugar in place of the confectioners' sugar.
