1 cup powdered sugar

powdered sugar, for coating the cookies

2
Add remaining ingredients and pulse till smooth.
3

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.
