Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
36 whole cloves
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar together. Stir in the vanilla, then the flour, then the pecans.
