Preparation / Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In your mixer cream together the butter
salt, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of the powdered sugar until smooth and
fluffy. Add the flour and pecans, and mix for 1 minute. Form small 3/4- to
1-inch balls of dough. Place them 1-inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake for
15 minutes, until they are lightly browned. While the cookies are still a
bit warm roll them in the remaining powdered sugar. Cool completely, and
store in an air tight container. It is tradition to wrap these rich cookies
in colored tissue paper with fringed edges.
