Pecan Butterballs

Ingredients:

16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter; softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus about 1 1/4 cups for

 coating the cookies

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions:

*Beat the butter in a large bowl until creamy.  Add 1/2 cup of the 

confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth.  Beat in the vanilla and

salt.  With the beaters on low speed, mix in the flour just until

incorporated.  Mix in the pecans.  Using your hands, gather the 

dough into a ball inside the bowl, cover the bowl with plastic and

refrigerate for about 30 minutes.  

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line 1-2 cookie sheets with parchment

paper.

*Pinch off small clumps of dough and roll into 1-inch balls, 

arranging them about 1 1/2 inches apart.  Bake for 11-12 minutes,

or until the cookies are lightly golden o the bottom and just barely

beginning to color on top.  Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet

for about 5 minutes.

*Place the remaining 1 1/4 cups of confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl.  

While the cookies are still warm, roll them in the sugar to coat.  

(Be gentle, because the cookies are fragile.)  Set them on a rack to

cool.  Just before serving or storing, recoat the cookies with another

dusting of confectioners' sugar.
