NEW ORLEANS -- For one New Orleans convent, the secret to making good pecan-flavored Christmas cookies is simple.
All you need is love.
And a meat slicer.
The Sisters of the Holy Family convent in New Orleans makes the cookies every year, using the proceeds to help their charitable efforts, according to WGNO-TV.
The holiday treats are famous not only for their deliciousness, but also their super-thin appearance.
The secret to that is the deli slicer the nuns use to make cookies that look "like Oprah on Weight Watchers," as Sister Geneva James describes them.
