Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened

Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray or butter. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped pecans and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until the dough comes together.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar. Once completely cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
