Gluten Free Russian Tea Cakes 

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract   
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
1/2 Tsp Xantham Gum 
1 cup finely-chopped  pecans
Powdered  sugar set aside

mix all ingredients well until creamy.  If dough is too soft  to roll in hands, put in fridge to firm up a little.
Roll some dough into small 1 inch balls.  Bake at 375º until done. (lightly browned on bottom but not on top)
(about 8-10 minutes)

Cool for 10 minutes, roll in powdered sugar and set on wire rack.

Cool completely: then roll in powdered sugar once again.

These are very delicate cookies that taste DELICIOUS!
(for non gluten free: Use same amount of regular flour (not self rising) and omit xantham gum)
