1 c chopped pecans
⅓ c confectioners’ sugar for dusting, or as needed

In a mixing bowl, add butter, vanilla, and 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar. Beat until well blended.
Add the pecans, flour, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
Form small balls out of the dough, then arrange them onto a cookie sheet.
