Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cream butter, sugar, and almond extract until light and fluffy.

Gradually stir in flour and salt until combined.

Add chopped pecans and mix until well blended.

Roll the dough into teaspoon-sized balls.

Place the dough balls on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden in color.

While still hot, roll the cookies in additional powdered sugar, repeating at least twice to ensure full coverage.
