Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F In a bowl sift together the flour, 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar, the pecans and a pinch of salt, stir in the vanilla, and blend in the butter until the mixture is combined well.
Scoop out rounded tablespoons of the mixture, form them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges.
Transfer the cookies to racks, let them cool slightly, and sift the additional confectioners' sugar over them.
