My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. I make them every Christmas. My husband, son, and daughter would be very disappointed if I didn't make them every year.
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 t pure vanilla extract
1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 ½ level cups all-purpose flour
¼ t salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Confectioners’ sugar for coating cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy.
Add vanilla and sugar and beat to combine.
Add flour and salt and continue to beat.
Mix in pecans with a spoon.
Form into small balls and place on two cookie sheets.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
Let cool and roll in additional confectioners' sugar. You can also pour confectioners' sugar into a paper bag and gently toss cookies until well coated.
Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 5 dozen.
