Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Sift flour and powdered sugar into mixing bowl. Add salt and pecans. Combine.

Step 3

Add butter, vanilla and almond extract and stir to combine and form a dough.

Step 4

If dough is too dry add a tablespoon or two of water.

Step 5

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour so it is firm and easier to handle. Break off pieces of dough and roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 2- minutes.
