1 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
Drop of vanilla

Blend together very well. Form into balls the size of walnuts. Place on cookie tin and press down to 1/2 thick with bottom of glass. Bake at 325-350 degrees (ovens may vary slightly) until light tan.

Note: I dip a pecan 1/2 in beaten egg white and press on top of each cookie before baking. Also dough can be made a day before baking and wrapped in wax paper and put into a plastic bag and refrigerated.
