Similar to pecan sandies, these cookies are also called Mexican Wedding Cookies or Polvorones. 

3/4 pound butter

6 tablespoons powdered sugar

3 cups flour, sifted

1 cup chopped pecans

4-1/2 tablespoons vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Add flour. Then add nuts and vanilla, mixing well. Roll into balls about the size of a walnut. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in a 325-degree oven. Immediately roll in powdered sugar.
