Pecan Sandy Balls

This recipe is similar to one my Mom always made for us at Christmas.....hers were called Walnut Crescent Cookies and they would melt in your mouth. They have always been my favorite that she made.  These are *almost* as good as Mom's.....but we all know nothing can compare with Mom 'stuff'!  They're easy to make and easier to eat!
