cup packed brown sugar

Preparation
In large bowl, beat all ingredients except pecans with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Stir in chopped pecans.
Place dough on 14-inch length of plastic wrap. Use wrap to shape dough into 12x2-inch log. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.
Heat oven to 375°F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices with sharp knife. On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices 1 inch apart. Press 1 pecan half on each cookie.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
