  3. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time.
  4. Mix in the chopped pecans.
  5. Scoop out 1 inch balls of dough and place on a cookie sheet. You don't have to leave much room as the cookies don't spread.

  7. Allow cookies to cool slightly and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  8. Start making another batch because you're going to eat all these cookies yourself!
