Method

In a large bowl, cream together butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar with an electric mixer on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Add vanilla, flour, pecans and salt and blend well.

Gather dough into a ball, press into a flat disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Pinch off small teaspoon-sized pieces of dough roll them into balls and place them on a nonstick baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Bake for until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, arrange powdered sugar on a large plate for dredging cookies.

Set cookies aside to let cool for 1 minute, then dredge them in remaining powdered sugar and set aside to let cool completely. Coat again in powdered sugar, then serve.
