Butter Cookies

Category: Cookies & Brownies

1 pound butter - no substitutes
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Mix all ingredients, blending well. Drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet, then flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass jar. (I use a heavy coffee mug) Bake at 350"F for about 12 minutes or until done.

They freeze well.
