Gradually add sugar, beating thoroughly until stiff peaks are formed. Fold in chopped pecans. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 1 inch apart, on prepared pan. Flatten like a macaroon. Place a quarter or half pecan on top of each cookie. Bake at 2750 F. about 30 minutes, checking occasionally, until cookies are hard but still shiny.

Cool slightly and remove from sheets. Allow to cool completely and store in airtight containers.
