2 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. chopped pecans (fine) - I do this in Cuisinart

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter and vanilla with pastry blender. Add nuts. Shape into 1/2 inch balls. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. They will be barely brown. Gently put cookies on platter. Roll in confectioners' sugar (sifted) when still warm. Makes 4 dozen.
