Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup unsalted butter.

Add the vanilla and salt, and mix until well combined.

Slowly add the flour, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chopped pecans.

Use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the parchment, 1 inch apart. Move the cookies to the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes.

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool 2–3 minutes, and layer some powdered sugar onto a plate. Roll the still warm cookies in powdered sugar and move to a cooling rack.

Before serving, roll once again in powdered sugar.
