2
Add remaining ingredients and pulse till smooth.

Love. Love. Love this recipe. The only thing hard about it is getting people to try it. Once they do, they're glad they did.

What a great recipe! I used the food processor to chop the pecans and the cookies and the just threw everything on top and pulsed till it came together. Used a small ice cream scoopto ball the cookies and they turned out perfect, no sticky or any other problems.
