Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Sifted confectioners sugar
1 c Soft butter or margarine
1/2 t Salt
1 tb Vanilla
2 c Sifted flour
1 c Finely chopped pecans

Sift the confectioners sugar and measure. Beat it, the butter, salt and
vanilla together until fluffy. Sift the flour onto a square of waxed
paper or into a bowl and then measure. Stir the sifted flour and pecans
into the confectioners sugar mixture. Mix well. Chill in the refrigerator
at least an hour so dough will shape easily. When you are ready to
bake the cookies, start heating the oven to 350F. Shape the chilled
dough into small balls. Place them 3 inches apart on an ungreased baking
sheet. Press a small hole in the centre of each ball with your thumb tip.
Bake on the rack in the centre of your oven about 15 minutes, or until
lightly browned and set. Remove frmo oven and spread cookies on rack to
cool.
