Pecan Crescent Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. butter (no substitutions)
1 c. powdered sugar, plus extra for coating cookies
1/2 lb. pecans, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
4 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
In a large mixing bowl of electric mixer, combine first 5 ingredients in order listed. Then add flour gradually until mixture is a putty-like consistency (you might need to use your hands to mix in the final additions of flour). Shape spoonfuls of dough into crescents or balls and bake at 350\u00b0 for about 20 minutes, or until set and barely beginning to turn golden on the edges.
