      Introduction:

      Makes about 4 dozen cookies. For more, just double the recipe.
      Preparation time: 45 minutes.
      Cooking time: 25 minutes.
      Cooling time: 15 minutes.

      Step 1:
      Preheat the oven to 325? butter two baking sheets. Onto a piece of
      wax paper, sift the flour and salt.

      In a medium-size bowl, with an
      electric mixer on high, cream the butter and granulated sugar until
      light and fluffy. Blend in the vanilla.

      Step 2:
      Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour mixture, then the pecans.
      Dust your hands with a little of the confectioners sugar and roll the
      dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets
      and bake for 25 minutes or just until light brown.

      Step 3:
      Transfer to racks to cool for 15 minutes, then roll in the
      confectioners sugar. These cookies keep well in an airtight container
      for up to 2 weeks. Do not freeze them.
