These cookies are a must-have at Christmas with our family. My mom used to roll them into nice little crescent shapes but I usually roll them into balls. I posting here in order not to lose the recipe...it's scribbled on a piece of scrap paper right now.

1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans

2. Cream butter, sugar and almond extract.
3. Gradually stir in flour and salt.
4. Add nuts and stir until well blended.
5. Roll dough into teaspoon sized balls.
6. Place on greased cookie sheet.
