My grandma's recipe for Pecan Dreams was very much like that one. We would make them into balls and roll in powdered sugar while still warm (I put the xxx sugar in a ziplock bag and shake the cookies to coat them). I use the same dough for Hershey's Secret Kiss Cookies--you wrap the dough around a Hershey's Kiss (foil removed) and then while warm, coat with powdered sugar.
 
This sounds lovely :yum:
