1/2 c Sifted confectioners` sugar

1 ts Vanilla

2 1/4 c Sifted cake flour

1/4 ts Salt

3/4 c Chopped pecans

Confectioners` sugar

vanilla in mixing bowl. 2. Sift flour and salt together and gradually stir into butter

mixture. Stir in chopped pecans. 3. Drop by heaping teaspoonsful onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake

until peaks are very light brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack. While still warm (but not hot), use a sifter to sprinkle generously with confectioners` sugar.
