 Preheat oven to 325d F.  In a large bowl cream butter and sugar using an
electric mixer.  Add vanilla, scraping down bowl as needed. Blend in flour and
salt, mixing until thoroughly combined.  Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into
small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place dough balls on lightly greased
cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Press down the center of each ball with a
spoon, forming a depression. Fill each with a teaspoonful of preserves or nuts.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer cookies immediately to a
cool, flat surface. When cookies are completely cool, dust them lightly with
confectioners' sugar.
