PECAN KISSES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Beat Egg Whites until peaks form. Add the Brown Sugar gradually, & Vanilla Extract, as you use your electric mixer. For the Pecans you gently STIR them in, to coat well.
• 2. At this point you can use parchment paper on the cookie sheet, or spray cookie sheet with Pam or just lightly coat with some vegetable oil, very lightly. Wipe off excess. This will help in the pecans once cooked less likely to stick. Oh and now they sell something just for not sticking and baking.
• 3. Next you are going to do the hardest part...laying each coated pecan on the cookie sheet with some room in between. Bake approximately 30 minutes until lightly browned. Park cookie sheet on a cookie rack to cool a bit. Easy with the spatula getting them off the cookie sheet. Seal in an airtight container.
• 4. You can freeze these to wait on the holiday but trust me, they are just as good eaten straight out of the freezer. If any broken pieces of pecans, no sweat, just use a spoon and spoon up a wad of a size that works for you and bake away. The pecan halves makes for a nice presentation and shows effort on your part.
