Arrange pecan halves in groups of three or five making a sunburst or turtle pattern on a greased baking sheet. Mold dough into rounded teaspoon balls. Dip bottom of each ball into unbeaten egg white and press lightly into nuts. Tips of nuts should show once cookies are baked. Bake 10-12 minutes. Let cool then frost.
