Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb butter
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy, then add vanilla.
  • Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time.
  • Mix in the chopped pecans.
  • Scoop out 1 inch balls of dough and place on a cookie sheet. You don't have to leave much room as the cookies don't spread.
  • Bake until golden. This will take about 50 minutes - don't be alarmed!
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Start making another batch because you're going to eat all these cookies yourself!
