- Unsalted butter, 4 T
- Powdered sugar, 1/3 c, plus extra for dusting
- Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
- Salt, 1/4 tsp
- Flour, 1 1/2 c.
- Pecans, 3/4 c.
Preheat oven to 325. Line 2 rimless baking sheets w/parchment.
In large bowl, use electric mixer on medium to beat the butter and 1/3 c powdered sugar until creamy. Add vanilla, salt, flour and mix until blended. Add pecans and mix until evenly distributed.
With floured hands, shape the dough into 3/4 inch balls and place on the prepared sheets, spacing them about 1 & 1/2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are very light brown, 15-18 minutes. Let them cool on baking sheets on wire racks for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, let cool completely.
