Grandma Cleo's Pecan Cookies

We made a book for my mother-in-law about her life (she's 97 and will probably out-live us).  It included memories from her children and grandchildren, pictures, some of her funny jokes and her delicious cookie recipe.  I thought I would share this recipe with you.  It really is a delicious cookie--you can't eat just one!
