Toasting the pecans before adding them to the dough enhances their nutty flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
