["Preheat oven to 325\u00b0. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse pecans with 1/4 cup confectioners sugar until nuts are very finely ground. Add butter and vanilla and process until smooth, occasionally stopping processor and scraping side with rubber spatula. Add flour; process until evenly mixed and dough forms. With floured hands, shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 3/4-inch balls. Place balls 1-inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 16 to 18", "minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are light golden. Transfer cookies to wire rack; cool slightly, about 3 minutes."]
