Beat egg whites until stiff,
Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix.
Add 3 tablespoons of self-rising flour and mix slowly to combine.
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract mixing slowly.
Add 4 cups of finely chopped pecans and slowly mix to combine,
Drop a spoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet or onto parchment paper. Since the recipe uses very little flour and no butter, the cookies will not spread much when baking. As you drop the mixture onto the cookie sheet, use a spoon to shape and spread it out into a more uniform cookie size.
Place in a 350℉ oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned around the edges and not sticky on top. Do not overbake.
When the cookies are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a rack. Serve when cool or store in an airtight container.
