I just happen to have a recipe for those.

Mexican Wedding Cookies

2 cups butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups flour
2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
Extra powdered sugar for rolling cookies

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
With an electric mixer, cream butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat in the flour, salt, and pecans. Roll stiff dough into bite-sized balls and place 8 across and 9 down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. After cooling for 5 minutes, roll still warm cookies in a bowl of powdered sugar. Let cool. Roll cookies again to cover completely.
Makes 6 dozen.
