Notes
- If you can't find pecan cookies, you could sub about 10 ounces of Golden Oreos and an ounce of pecans. You'll want to process the pecans first so they get nice and fine.
- Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can put the cookies in a zip lock bag and smash them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
