2 sticks soft butter
1/4 c. powdered sugar
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2 c. very finely chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. ice water

With electric mixer, blend butter and powdered sugar. Fold in flour and pecans. Blend well. Add vanilla and ice water. Mix well. Roll a small amount of dough between fingers to form crescent-shaped cookie. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. While cookies are hot, roll gently in more powdered sugar.
