Pecan cookies

Ingredients
4 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for coating
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups of chopped pecans
1 pinch of salt

Directions
 With an electric mixer, cream butter. Add 1/3 cup sugar and cream until light. Beat in vanilla, salt, and flour, scraping down sides of bowl, just until dough comes together. Fold in pecans.
Squeeze dough to shape into small balls. Place, 3 inches apart, on a baking sheet. Gently flatten with the tip of your finger.
Bake until golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, about 25 minutes. Let them cool until just warm and sprinkle them with sugar. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
