Snowballs

1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix in flour, pecans and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into balls and placed on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes (do not allow cookies to get brown). While the cookies are still hot, roll them in the powdered sugar; set aside to cool. Once cookies have cooled, roll again in the powdered sugar.

My father-in-law's favorites and mine too, for Christmas! Yummy in the tummy!
