INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• Pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl combine flour, 2/3 cup of the sugar, the nuts, and salt. Stir in vanilla.
• Work the butter into the mixture until it forms a cohesive ball.
• For each cookie pinch off about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough and form it into a ball, using either your hands or two teaspoons. Shape about 1 1/2 tablespoons dough into a ball. Place balls on a greased baking sheet and flatten them slightly with a spoon. Bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. Dust them generously with the remaining confectioners' sugar.
