Italian Wedding Cookies III image

"Also sometimes called 'Mexican wedding cookie', 'Russian tea cakes', or 'butterballs', can also be made into crescents. You can also substitute pecans and they are very good as well. This is the best version of these I have ever seen, it was given me by a friend who grew up in central Europe."

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for rolling
