Preparation

Step 1

1. Grind the pecans using a pulse so they’re fine, but not pasty

2. Mix butter and ½ c. powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and salt, then 1 c. of flour. Add the 2nd c. of flour and the pecans. You might have to switch to the manual mixing method here.

3. Refrigerate the dough for an hour.

4. Preheat the oven to 350. Roll the dough into 1" balls and place on an ungreasead cookie sheet. They don’t spread much, so you can cram them on there pretty well.

5. Bake about 12-15 minutes (mine took 15). Let stand on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, put the rest of the powdered sugar in a pie plate or something with sides and put the hot cookies in the powdered sugar. Roll them around and let them cool in the sugar. When they’re cool, you will proably have to roll them around a bit m
