Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Cream shortening in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar gradually; cream thoroughly. Add flour, pecans, and vanilla extract and blend.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, baking in batches if needed.
- Bake in the preheated oven on one of the top racks until lightly golden, about 15 minutes, watching to be sure the bottoms do not burn.
- Remove from the oven and roll in some of the remaining powdered sugar while still hot. Let cool, 10 to 20 minutes. Roll again in powdered sugar.
