Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl beat butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy.

Gradually, beat in flour, salt, and chopped pecans.

To shape the cookies, take a generous tablespoon of dough and roll it into a log. Place it on the prepared cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and shape it into a crescent by pressing the edges and bending them slightly. Repeat until all the dough is used.

Space them about 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheet.

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden.

While cookies are still warm, dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Dough can be prepared one day in advance. Keep dough in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.

Once cookies are baked they can be stored for one week in an airtight container.
