2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans

2. In a large bowl (electric mixer) cream together the butter and 1 cup of the powder sugar. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
3. Gradually add the flour and salt to the creamed mixture. Stir in the pecans by hand with a wooden spoon.
4. For dough into small tablespoon balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown.

Comments:
These buttery yet light cookies are a delicious party treat, and it gives bakers a chance to try something originated from another culture. Coated in sugar and smattered with chopped pecans, no one will be able to resist them.
