Pecan Butter Balls

2 cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup white sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup margarine

2 cups chopped pecans

⅓ cup confectioners sugar for decoration

Sift together into a medium sized bowl the flour, sugar and vanilla. Work in the margarine with a spoon or hands until well blended. Add chopped pecans and mix well.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls and put on ungreased pans. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F (165 degrees C) oven for about 25 minutes or until pale brown. When slightly cool roll or shake in confectioners sugar. Store in an air tight container.
