Recipe - Pecan Refrigerator Cookies

1 cup Butter
2 cup Light brown sugar
2 Eggs; beaten
3 cup Flour
3 One half teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
1 cup Chopped pecans
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until
light again. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and work thoroughly
into creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Shape into long 11/4inch
rolls. Wrap in waxed paper, and chill at least overnight. The longer you
chill, the better the cookies. Slice the dough as thin as possible and
place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes. Makes 810
dozen.
