Instructions
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely ground pecans
1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar
Cream butter and sugar. Add nuts, flour, salt and vanilla. Mix until dough holds together. (Add 1-2 teaspoons cold water, if necessary.) Using about 1 teaspoon dough for each cookie, shape into a roll about 2 1/2 inches long, tapered at each end. Bend into crescent shape and bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm. Makes about 50 cookies.
