Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Sift flour and salt into creamed butter mixture and stir just until dough is combined, fold in pecans. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool cookies slightly and roll in confectioners' sugar. Cool cookies completely and roll again in confectioners' sugar.
