Pro Tips:

Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is softened to room
temperature for easier mixing and a better cookie texture.

Pecans: Toast the pecans lightly to enhance their flavor and crunch. Be careful not to burn them; keep an eye on them while toasting.

Cookie Size: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.

Baking Sheets: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Cooling: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent them from breaking.
