    Recipe Introduction


    These tasty treats are also well known as Russian Tea Cakes and Mexican
    Wedding Cookies.

    List of Ingredients





    Yield: 30 Cookies

    1 cup Butter
    1/2 cup Powdered sugar
    Pinch Salt
    1 cup toasted pecans, chopped fine
    1 tsp Vanilla extract
    2 1/4 cups Flour

    1/2 cup Powdered sugar, sifted.



    Recipe



    Put butter and powdered sugar in a mixer with a paddle attachment, and
    cream them together until smooth. Add the pinch of salt and vanilla
    extract
    and mix.

    Slowly add the flour until the dough comes together. Now fold in the
    toasted pecans mixing well. Let dough chill for 1/2 hour in fridge.

    Roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment lined or
    sprayed
    baking sheet. Bake at 350 F until cookies are golden brown about 12
    minutes. When done remove from oven and let cool. After the cookies are
    cool roll them in sifted powdered sugar to completely cover each
    cookie.
