1/2 pound pecans, about 2 cups chopped
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Few drops pecan extract, optional

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place half the pecans in a food processor bowl and pulse until finely ground; transfer to a med. size mixing bowl. Repeat with the rest of the nuts. Add brown sugar, salt, egg white and extract(s). Mix well. Form the dough into marble size balls and place well apart on a large, well-greased cookie sheet. (About 12 cookies/sheet). Firmly press a pecan half into each. Bake 8-9 min until cookies are a deep golden brown. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet 3 min. Cool on wire rack. Makes 36 or more cookies if you make them the right size.
