1 c. butter
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
2 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven. In large bowl cream butter, add sugar and cream well. Sift flour once before measuring then again with salt. Add to creamed mixture, mix well. Blend in vanilla and nuts. Form into 1 inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. (Watch cookies carefully after they have been in oven for awhile as they brown all of a sudden.)

Roll in additional powdered sugar while still warm and again when cool. Store in container with loose cover. Approximately 5 dozen.
