For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease or oil, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a deeper, richer element to the cookies. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Don't be tempted to peek! The slow cooling process is crucial for achieving the perfect meringue texture. Opening the oven door can cause the cookies to collapse. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
