Ingredients

  • 1 lb. butter (no substitutions)
  • 1 c. powdered sugar, plus extra for coating cookies
  • 1/2 lb. pecans, chopped
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 c. all-purpose flour

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large mixing bowl of electric mixer, combine first 5 ingredients in order listed. Then add flour gradually until mixture is a putty-like consistency (you might need to use your hands to mix in the final additions of flour). Shape spoonfuls of dough into crescents or balls and bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, or until set and barely beginning to turn golden on the edges.
